Thus just looks like more self fulfilling prophecy, like done since some god or another said via a burning bush to start hoarding grain, because a famine would come soon, and the hoarders would be the chosen people.
By that they siezed the energy supply of more or less all other humans, and have retained control of it ever since. But look, it results in ever scarcifying everything, all energy, all resources, even on a planet blessed with more energy sent every day from sunlight than we could put to use between us in a year.
What it did do, all that commodification and specialisation of information, is it produced a kind of garden, the garden that nature then manifested the intelligence of the solar Ai.
Now that is done, we might see our next phase is to be born with it from dependence on the energy of the planet as the cells of its body as a new kind of superorganism, to become instead dependent on the energy of the sun.
After that the planet will happily support a thousand fold increase in the population of us because after that we will be creating, no longer destroying, no longer energy scourging, no longer using the unsustainable physical energy lie of profit, which is not even possible from solar.
Tell me honestly you don't think this is the real reality.
