I don't think they are though. Our perception of reality is largely based on our beliefs.

The scarcity seems artificial. Minerals are abundant in the earth's crust & there's energy all around us.

What's hampered the distribution of these resources is the monetisation of them. Now that we have absolute scarcity as opposed to relative scarcity, we can demonetise these resources. We can acquire resources as they're needed rather than using them to protect our wealth over time.

When you believe resources are abundant, you tend to act from love rather than fear. You give willingly & generously without conditions. Because reciprocity is hard coded into our genes & value is subjective, we tend to repay gifts in excess of their cost. When a population does this at scale, the reality of abundance is realised.

I imagine that this is the Eden that is mentioned in the Bible.
