I don't understand. Is post-scarcity good or bad?

Scarcity seems to be the reason why anything has value.... No forget that I kind of forgot what I was going with that.

What I did want to bring up is this argument of land vs. population and energy/raw materials.

If energy is neither created or destroyed, it's just moved around, and assuming we still have the sun, if we're just using the energy from the sun through food, then as long as the sun exists, aren't we fine? Same with water. Water might be transformed but it returns. Where it would it go? There is also salt water sure you have to take energy/time to desalinate and purify it.

I just don't get that argument of resources if you have an ineexhaustable supply of energy as the sun for 5 billion years.

Also humans compared to the size of the Earth, we don't even begin to cover it as far as human size compared to land size eg. continents.

Please correct me as I'd like to learn.
