Unscarcity
The Blueprint to Rebuild Society for a World Run by Machines
Companion site for Unscarcity by Patrick Déglon, Ph.D. — the manual for crossing the labor cliff with dignity. From Maria in Detroit to Adewale in Lagos, we refuse a future of perfect production and zero customers.
We invent faster than we understand. This is the instruction manual.
Survival guaranteed. Influence earned. Rebuild society for a world run by machines, for humans.

The One AI Regulator to Reach Trump's Desk Was Designed by Google's Hassabis, and Zuckerberg, Musk and Nvidia's Huang Each Called the President to Kill It
The Wall Street Journal reported on September 17 that Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Jensen Huang separately spoke with President Trump in recent weeks to argue against an industry-funded, FINRA-style AI standards body proposed by Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, warning it would entrench OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepMind; Trump did not move forward with it. The same report describes a split inside the White House, with Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pushing for more scrutiny of AI risk after adviser David Sacks got Trump to scrap a planned May executive order on extended model review. Days later CNBC noted Musk had endorsed Amodei's slowdown call the same week he lobbied against the regulator, and the White House confirmed Musk, Huang, Altman, Pichai and Bezos are on the guest list for the September 24 state dinner with Xi Jinping.

Scenes from the transition
Learning without scarcity
Universal tutors free every kid from the factory model of schooling.
Foundation logistics
Food, energy, and care arrive like tap water when the Foundation is infrastructure.
Human connection
The Frontier keeps ambition alive through contribution, not competition for survival.
Why this matters now
The labor cliff ↗
Housekeepers and coders are replaced by $499/month robots and AI agents. Efficiency is exponential; the safety net is not. Unscarcity is the plan to keep people ahead of their own inventions.
The Ford moment, again ↗
Perfect production with zero customers collapses the economy. Ford doubled wages to create his own market; we need the civilizational version — abundance as infrastructure.
Two futures ↗
Path 1: Star Wars — abundance held hostage by a few. Path 2: Unscarcity — symbiotic Commons where AI delivers plenty and humans provide resilience. The choice is architectural, not inevitable.
Nine pivots from Unscarcity
Lifted directly from the book's throughline — from the Foundation to the Next Thousand Years.
1. The Foundation ↗
Essentials as infrastructure: housing, food, energy, healthcare, mobility — no prices, no meters. Survival divorced from employment.
2. The Frontier ↗
Impact replaces income. Contribution earns access to scarce frontiers — life extension, interstellar seats, high-compute projects — decaying so power can't ossify.
3. MOSAIC of Commons ↗
Federated governance inspired by Data Mesh: thousands of Commons with local autonomy, linked by transparent boundary protocols and proof-of-diversity.
4. Residents & Citizens ↗
Spark Threshold grants the right to exist; Civic Service grants the right to govern. Consciousness earns residence, stewardship earns a vote.
5. Education for Citizenship ↗
Guild-style learning replaces factory schooling; purpose-driven missions and apprenticeships prepare citizens for Commons leadership.
6. The Cognitive Field ↗
Consent-based neural commons: shared experiences, simulations, and memory without surrendering agency. A global mind, not a hive mind.
7. The Sacred Question ↗
Where physics meets faith: simulation theory, quantum mechanics, and mystic traditions converge. Finding common ground in the deepest questions.
8. The Transition ↗
A bridge for incumbents: the EXIT Protocol converts capital to contribution-based influence. Avoid the fire; take the exit.
9. The Enterprise EXIT ↗
Corporations become Mission Guilds. Stewardship replaces ownership. What happens to organizations when money dies?
10. Geopolitics of Abundance ↗
Civilizational resilience: transparent AI counsel for states, supply webs instead of supply chains, Commons alliances that out-compete empires.
