The paper mentions basic human needs like calories, potable water and shelter. What you are talking about goes way beyond biological needs.

This is the problem with partial abundance and the absolute definition of scarcity. Scarcity still exists even after you have a million yachts. You would have to be crazy to argue that scarcity doesn't exist, but absolute scarcity is meaningless in the face of humans with limited brain sizes.

We definitely have partial abundance. Please don't shut this discussion down because of imprecise language.
