There are these inefficient twentieth century institutions that we built in response to particular circumstances. The electrical grid is one example - a peculiar public-private arrangement that regularly fails yet remains our primary solution. Another is our healthcare system with its convoluted mixture of state and private insurance tied to employment, where no stakeholder has proper incentives for optimal functioning. An abundance of localized energy generation will obviate our dependence the grid, just as an abundance of self-directed care will make our centralized healthcare institutions obsolete. These seemingly separate issues are fundamentally connected. The solution isn't marginally reallocating existing resources, but rather coordinating with new technologies to expand the resources themselves. Believing in a future of abundance.
