I am inclined to agree with Eli, the truth is we could do so much more if all the potential genuises of the world were empowered to reach their full potential.
We might be getting close to that actually happening when it is realised that cheap energy from sunlight becomes completely free when we use it to create money, which can in turn fund further expansion of solar energy infrastructure, so is freely scaleable.
Free energy means free money, for all people no less, so at last all people might actually get some, it seems to me.
Capitalists, those with significant capital, don’t like to hear this, because they know that the value of their capital would fall to zero in the presence of free money for all.
Why save anything if there will never be a shortage of it?
So they would lose the advantage, but they maybe fail to see that by that, they also would gain infinite wealth, like all other people.
