By the way, I'm not necessarily against the idea that post-scarcity would result in societal collapse. In fact, I used to think that this would be the most likely outcome. That is why the Old Zambarau Concord (defunct) experienced the Obsolescense Wars - a direct consequence of the transition to a post-scarcity society. After the Obsolescence Wars, the Old Zambarau Concord returned to being a scarcity society.

Over time, however, I've re-thought the issue and now believe that it is possible for a society to survive the transition to post-scarcity. This is the main reason for why I closed up the Old Zambarau Concord in favour of the updated Zambarau Concord Mbili.
