I've been wrestling a bit with the idea of scarcity recently, especially as it relates to crypto and AI. Crypto is in many ways about creating scarcity in the digital realm, while AI recently has been more about increasing the abundance of creativity in the digital realm. 1/x

On its face it would seem that creating abundance is better than creating scarcity, but scarcity plays an important role in any group of sentient beings that have complex motivations. Scarcity always exists and will always exist. We're different from each other and those differences are examples of scarcity. 2/x

We value those differences in different ways which will result in collaboration or attraction between people, etc. In many ways we need scarcity that is more merit-based (based on our actions rather than our genetics) to even the playing field. 3/x
