but that doesnt mean its the end
Of course not, it'd just be a net increase in quality, difference is needs would consistently be met?
there will always be more to gather more to explore more improvements to be made
Right
so you can establish that standard but not much beyond that
That's not necessarily true if the aim is to perfect it and if there is a demand for better iterations of product?
any development would be very slow no incentive to innovate no competition to drive innovation
Does development solely stem from competition?
a system based in personal production continues this while still maintaining that standard
so why sell yourself short?
This comes from the assumption that development solely stems from competition and that market competition is the only form of competition substantial to development
i never said that
i said your system would be inferior not impossible
No no I get that
but how would your system maintain the value of products if ever user has their own means of production?
not everyone produces the same thing
without labor how would one accumulate currency to begin with?
im not a communist
I mean without working how would someone earn a wage to earn start a transaction in such a future where everybody has a means of production?
a cycle would start
there would be initial investments into the automation then it would just switch hands and receive improvements from there
If anything completion limits innovation
Competition
So everyone has a means of production and everyone can transfer their goods for currency
yep
this currency can be used to purchase goods from others
You need to produce profit
yep
Which means you need to cut innovation
why would this be needed post scarcity if anybody could just make the same product?
Tech could be better but you need to factor in costs
Innovating too rapidly will put you in hot water
I kinda need to rest rn, could we continue later Reaper?
You just get cut by older cheaper products
sure
Thank you for questioning my beliefs
I really appreciate this
no problem thanks for not insulting me
Why would I? 😂
thats what every single communist who has joined has done
I was an Ancap once and I'm not an unethical marxist leninist type either 😂
