    Scarcity of anything is a bad idea. Shouldn’t we WANT to live in a land of plenty?

      Well, if we had less oil, gas and coal it could make things a lot better with climate change.

      Abundance can also lead to wastefullness. But generally speaking it just doesn’t matter if pretty rocks are scarce or not, if they don’t have any value in fulfilling human needs.
