Meaning, are we as a species at a point of technological development where if we have a global revolution tomorrow, and make it our top priority as a species, we could provide every human with:

‘ -sufficient nutritious food to eat and water to drink

‘ -comfortable housing with a reasonable about of space for everyone

‘ -electricity and sewers

‘ -productive employment

‘ -quality heathcare

‘ -education

‘ -a modest amount of the “stuff” we all like: books, TV shows, live music, coffee, etc etc

And being able to do this in a way that is environmentally sustainable and at least arrests further erosion of the climate and natural environment.

When I look out at our productive capabilities as they stand now, my gut says this is possible but I really don’t know.

    Just tangent to mentioning nuclear power, I came across this scene from a 1977 movie, this used to represent a sentiment about it.
