Frankly I think we're already at the tipping point for that. If I think about it, how many jobs are actually involved in:

  * Providing food
  * Providing shelter
  * Providing healthcare

You could argue just about everything else is really a form of artifical scarcity, none of it is needed for survival, perhaps just for comfort.

That divide became a lot more clear in the past 2 years with the acknowledgement of "essential workers". Without Google, Facebook, or auto insurance, we'd be inconvenienced. Without essential workers society as we know it would collapse. And almost all of those workers are paid less than an entry level Facebook engineer.

So now the question is, are we already post-scarcity? And perhaps we don't know it only because it hasn't been distributed equally.
