A keen grasp of the obvious. Regardless of the culture and regardless of the
technology and regardless of anything else, ANY society must obey a basic
core of Economics ideas called Micro Economics, at least as long as that
society is consistent with the laws of Thermodynamics. Nanotechnology does
not postulate any new laws of Physics so the laws of Micro Economics would
still hold even after The Singularity, but beyond that there is little I can
say about what life will be like then. I've said all this before, but you
seem to take great pride in saying we believe in some very dumb things so you
can then show with triumph that those straw men are foolish. Straw men are
always foolish, but we are not made of straw.
