A society in which all basic human needs are provided at zero or very low cost without significant human work can be defined as basic post-scarcity.
Our civilization is getting close to the point where this is technically feasible.
To reach this milestone as soon as possible, we introduce here the Basic Post-scarcity Map project, an effort to map the current technological state of the art and to understand how far we are from a basic post-scarcity society. We are currently in alpha stage, and we are releasing early to gather feedback and collaborators.
This project is an attempt to provide unbiased answers to the following questions:
