:D HaHa, my not so favorite subject of debate. LoL
As we've already established, you won't be able to fascinate me on this subject, I'm afraid. But I nevertheless let myself into it. But not for too long.
You're way ahead of my imagination here and I see the devil in the details early on, or rather I think I really don't understand you here or don't quite grasp what you're expressing.
Perhaps you have certain images in mind, scenes from this spaceage world that I am unable to form in my mind's eye.
And although I agree with your analysis of causes, I don't see how the individual can regain their sovereignty in this high quality. So you're talking about a world beyond currency, right? But how do you get there? In what units do you think? In what time frames? If you are talking about ownership and that everything necessary for life can be produced by ourselves here on earth, we are still dependent as cooperative units (of whatever size) on certain products or raw materials that come from somewhere else? Since both climatic and other geological conditions always cause a certain shortage?
Such overall decentralization seems to be impossible to me ...
I do not see the mentality required for this and must pessimistically interject that the necessary mental strength is often not sufficiently strong in us modern humans, if it was not born out of necessity, which nevertheless must not be so great that it degenerates into depression and fatalism.
Who are those who are living examples of best practice at present, if they even exist? Do you have real life examples where people already work self sustainably in a decentralized way of that quality?
Another point that could be the reason for my block is the idea of living in space. I don't associate it with a favourable attitude to life at all. Space, if it is what I imagine it to be, is a thoroughly hostile environment with no breathable air and no protective planetary atmosphere, with radioactive radiation from the nearest sun, etc.
Life on a spaceship that would offer a quality of life even remotely similar to that on a huge planet would have to be gigantic, and yet it would not be able to conceal the fact that the essentials are missing: roaming animals, landscapes, mountains, lakes, forests, all the incredible life that surrounds us. I don't have to leave the house every day or go for a walk right next to a body of water to feel deep inside that it all exists.
....
I'm not sure I share all of your premises that serve as the basis for your idea of a (distant?) future.
How can ‘freedom grow when new property becomes available because new means of production become available that include access to the immeasurable resources of the earth’ when access and extraction (mining, refining etc.) of such resources are simultaneously in the hands of the more powerful?
A 3D printer can suddenly be as expensive as an entire house if those who influence prices want it that way, no? To use an exaggeration. And the materials that such a printer would need for its very different purposes would not really be freely available either. That seems too simple to me. But maybe I miss some things here.
Why would we want an increase in productivity? Why not keep productivity in balance? Because the oligarchs or the haters of human life don't want it?
I see contradictions. If we look at the battle here between those who support the cult of death and those who don't, then from my point of view, swarming into space would also be something they don't want. Or do you see some mental trick here that makes them blind to it? . ..... It goes over my head.
