There will <i>always</i> be something we want, but can&#x27;t have. It&#x27;s human nature, I would argue. As soon as we push one boundary, another horizon presents itself.<p>Once we eliminate all the &quot;simple&quot; causes of scarcity, we&#x27;ll soon be on to the next group. Some things probably won&#x27;t present themselves as limited until they become scarce.<p>One example I like to think of: Land, it is currently abundant, to the point of ridiculousness based on our population. However, land near X (city, hospital, family, etc), is pretty limited. This is caused by unique local&#x2F;contextual reasons. Not every city can have a beautiful ocean sunset, not every city can have a giant canyon in the middle that provides a unique nightlife of weird depths.
