Alvin Wang Graylin - Scarcity to Abundance: Reimagining Civilization in the Age of AI
What happens when artificial intelligence and robotics make traditional work obsolete? This episode introduces the "Abundanism" framework - a comprehensive model for transitioning from scarcity-based civilization to post-scarcity society. Drawing lessons from evolutionary biology, economic history, and cutting-edge AI development, we explore how humanity can prepare for a world where basic needs are universally met.
The conversation covers the psychological shift required to move from competition to collaboration, the role of Universal Basic Income in enabling creativity, and why the current AI arms race between major powers threatens our one opportunity to get this transition right. Special focus on how creative professionals and technologists can lead this transformation through storytelling and responsible development.
A thought-provoking discussion about redefining human purpose, avoiding technological displacement chaos, and building institutions for shared flourishing rather than concentrated power.
