However, once you really get the contrast in worldviews of zero sum economics based on scarcity vs economic growth you understand a whole lot. Scarcity is a myth, but then I believe ijn divine providence.

Scarcity is a myth

Far from mythological, although not functional at the moment, scarcity will return, probably as cheap oil runs out.
