pick an index, if it's it's 6 digits, imagine what life in space will feel like when it's 12 or so digits? that's not happening in the present, but we either thrive in the future or we rremain stagnant, or grow moderately?
not long ago, earth used horses, and focused on growing food for survival. This time it's different. Technology is doubling at a relatively constant rate that's phenomenally unbelieveable, but definetly unlikely to stop it's slow steady pace of everyday life. When I begain trading the dow was below 1,000 (and had only been above it once, i think). what is it now? Add lots of zero's and it doesn't matter if it matches supply demand curves of our past experience. It's no longer in fashion to say some index or stock symbol is going to the moon, or on fire...And the threats, currently being considered or so it often seems, is from asteroids as small as 3,000 feet in diamater, potentially causing destruction of all that we know so, from my perspective, those that have been calling for large numbers, in the future, for the stock indexes, the digit perspective .. have said 20 years ago to expect phenomal growth (in index prices) in the future.
it may not be pleasant surving this virus, but we will and we will prosper and propagate the stars with safe places to vacation becaues machines will do everything for us. They do already (almost). Instead of continually replenishing paper and pencils (and trees, which take effort and time to grow), what we use instead exists forever, as computer monitors, and cpu's, which will become something different ....and maybe then with that hindsight, looking back, it will make sense?
iow, pick an astronomically improbable economy or economic system of cooperation between everyone, where money is a foreign concept that existed in the distant past, and is no longer used because it isn't needed. Then visualize how we will determine what is worth owning, if owning things remains in fashion. Just this week a billionaire began heading in that direction by saying he was selling off a lot of his own personal distractions, in the form of homes or property he owns because it's of value to him to be doing that for reasons not entirely clear, other than the obvious Occupy Mars T-shirt he wears, and perhaps (reading between the lines) he's encouraging others to do the same, in what I believe is an effort to encourage more cooperation and less fighting amongst the current paradigm which is the class system of haves and have not's. or rich and poor.
a few years ago a few other billionaires began down what imo is a similar path, in their own respective fields of interest, via establishing philanthropic entities, and perhaps encouraging their sons and daughters to think more about what they really want to do as their primary cause for being here on earth, rather than waiting to inherit the fruit's of someone elses labor. Appologies to whoever might be offended by this, because I don't like to think people might someday write stuff about me, such as this, without checking all the facts to make certain they're correct., but if they do, then that's what it will be and it will be written with the same love and respect I'm feeling (for everyone) working toward creating the materials our future society will need to surrive.
