if intelligence is truly commodified, we are effectively post-scarcity or very close to something resembling it.
it seems hard to justify like continued massive material deprivation for tons of people in the world on the basis of ‘who am i’ ego for the top like 0.2% income earners globally.
you're conflating income with wealth. as programmers many of us have good salaries, but if those went away we'd have to dig ditches like everyone else.
miss me with the .1% salary stuff -- income is not wealth.

We'll never be effectively post-scarcity.
There are people who are banking on scarcity.
