Imagine that technology has progressed to the point where all our basic needs can be taken care of at no cost. Clean and renewable energy powers the machines that farm the land, clean the water, build our shelters, cut our lawns, and transport our people and goods. Medicine has evolved to the point where major illnesses are obsolete. No one has to work.
Now, would it be great if this technology was freely available to everyone in the whole world? If everyone was taken care of and were free to pursue their passions? There would be much less motivation to commit crimes and wage war. Everyone would be safe and secure.
Or would it be better if only you owned this technology and could withhold it? Then you could control people. Make them do what you want or else they die (or steal).
Which vision is more appealing to you?
