sometimes ppl talk abt postscarcity & freedom as "just give everyone their own X" (island, planet, galaxy) and then everyone can do whatever they want... but I'm unsure what % of desires this will satisfy, if each of us is *alone* or only with willing participants...
these desires bother me & also seem important- as humans we are social animals, we need love and care to grow into healthy interdependent adults .... but who should be obligated to care if no one is finding it intrinsically rewarding to care for you?
