<p>For things like strawberries and housing I think that you're right that this can be a technical problem.<p>But some things are inherently scarce. Not everyone can sit courtside at the NBA Finals. We can't all summit Everest. Celebrities don't have the capacity to give a personalized experience to every fan.<p>We can't all visit Venice at the same time. Maybe we can make more and better versions of the Venetian, but it's not the same thing.<p>Limiting these things to only a new aristocracy is absolutely gross. Allowing no one these experiences would also be doing a disservice to humanity. I think pursuing abundance where it is an option is the right thing to do. But I don't think we're close to any good solutions for the inherently scarce experiences.<p>Maybe some day there's a fair lottery system? Everyone gets a ration of limited and authentic experiences coupled with an abundance of commodities?</p>
