A Vision

What if...

... no one ever paid more than 6% margin?

... every product on the market was unique?

... you never had to wait for something?

... there was never any scarcity?

... your every desire was met?

How would this affect your spending? How would you live your life? What would motivate you to work?

We're on our way to this reality, but getting there will depend on our behavior. If we tolerate high margins, bland products, long waits, and unmet wants from sellers, the road will be never-ending. Once we get to this stage, the focus of our lives may be turned inwards, to getting the most value out of our relationships and lives.

...or will it tease us into wanting more?
