Things that will NOT become abundant (and may become more valuable):
- Physical presence and embodied experience. Your Taylor Swift concert. The feeling of being in a specific place at a specific time with other humans.
- Physical scarcity. Land, nature, raw materials, pristine environments. There is one beachfront lot in that spot, and no amount of AI
