Just because nothing has been demonstrated, doesn't mean to say it doesn't exist. Actually we did see something demonstrated, at the start of covid, when trillions per month stimulus was being issued, oil prices went negative, the dollar went up, the environment showed the only postive spike of recovery ever, and companies made bankrupt (by the issuance of free money to their furlonged employees), still offering product that the public knew and loved, were effectively bought out by the public with thier free money (Which technically should have put those companies into public ownership), including Hertz, but nobody seems to have noticed, or remember now.
The fundamental difference, between now, and any other time in history, is that we are now creating and adding product which is additional to the former financial capital base of Earth, for free per Joule received, ie from solar energy.
It makes a much bigger difference than they would have us know, but now they are in a corner, nature will devalue all currency which does not reflect that product added, by being issued for free to all people, in the same way as stimulus was.
Will people still work?
Yes but maybe not the same people as before, who only worked for money, this time, folk who love what they do, will work for love :))
