Abundance Is a Tech Problem, Not Just a Political Dream
If we already have the tools to build a world of abundance, then our scarcity is no longer accidental, it might be a choice.
The conversation about abundance is missing its most powerful player: exponential technology. AI, robotics, solar, and bioengineering are already reshaping cost curves, yet most politics still pretends we’re in 1995. We don’t just need subsidies or mindset shifts, we need a coordinated tech-policy movement.
I believe abundance will come from compounding breakthroughs, not just good intentions.

- Solar and fusion are pushing energy from expensive and dirty to cheap and clean, ensuring we have plenty of energy to power AI
- Genomics, CRISPR, and AI in biology are unlocking scalable, affordable healthcare
The tech exists, we’re lacking the leadership to connect dots and scale. What if the bottleneck to abundance isn’t invention, but coordination?
