It's interesting to me how the scarcity-driven paradigm in which we live governs practically everything we believe and do.

We even warp our great thinkers into such illusory bonds. Darwin used "survival of the fittest" exactly twice; the second time to apologize for its misconstruction from his first usage.

Darwin's lesser-known book, The Descent of Man, foresaw humanity arising into a cooperative species.

Adam Smith, father of capitalism, devoted his Wealth of Nations to the idea that a future of "universal opulence" could be created in centuries to come.

We live at the doorway to that time now. By every measure, compelling evidence points to the possibility of the future these great men foresaw.
