If by rich you mean some fixed standard of living, which I would define as the amount of leisure time you have while being physically healthy, then I believe that it would in fact be possible for all to be rich. | ||

I also think this statement is interesting as well. The assumption that you necessarily have to work hard to make a living, or even work at all. Just because (most) people have historically had to work to survive doesn't necessarily mean it will always be that way. In the future, laborious and time-consuming work may serve only to maintain social hierarchy to eliminate intellectual competition by those who have control. There are a lot of interesting scenarios. | ||

He's actually saying to give each person a dollar lol. I don't know who's dumber you or the op... Reasoning: The op thinks if Bill Gates distributes his wealth via 1billion per person, bill gates will still have 33billion and each of the 7mil people will have 1billion. He is not suggesting bill gates give each person 1 dollar. Even the Op knows that +1$ does not make a person potentially rich. | ||

Compare the poorest American's life right now to the richest person's life 100 or 200 years ago, and you'll see that even the poorest American's have a quality of life that royalty from 200 years ago could only dream of. Even compared to American's 30 or 40 years ago, the bottom 10% of American's have as many or more microwaves, refrigerators, cars, TVs, and other technology than the average person from the past, not to mention new technology that previous generations could only dream of. Now just wait 100 or 200 years into the future. Assuming that technological innovation continues (and I have a lot of faith in the ability of the human mind), the poorest people from a century in the future will be looking down on Bill Gates and pitying him. Yeah, we are all born a bit early. I wish I was born in a time where technology can prevent aging. Seriouly, with fully controllable Nano technology, men can become immortals. And would only die at his own wish. | ||
