Peter Diamandis sketches a future where solar system materials deliver near-infinite energy, metals, minerals, and orbital real estate, moving civilization past the constraints of scarcity toward an era of overwhelming plenty.
We are about to unlock a near infinite supply of resources in our solar system. The reality is an overwhelming amount of abundance. A near infinite supply of energy, metals, minerals and real estate. Abundance is our future, scarcity is our past.
The post asserts the shift is imminent yet supplies zero details on mining techniques, energy capture systems, or any operational path forward.
Treating resources as effectively unlimited might steer capital and policy away from rationing debates, though the announcement leaves the pace and proof of that transition entirely open.
Many users express excitement about Diamandis' claims that space expansion will unlock abundance and turn sci-fi into reality, while others dismiss the ideas as unrealistic and insult the speakers.

Abundance isn’t just more compute and more energy. It’s more minds. More people free to invent, create, and solve. The ceiling on human genius has always been the size of the human population, and their access to tools and resources. As humanity moves into space we shatter all limitations.

@PeterDiamandis AI probably exceeds the sum of all human intelligence in 4 or 5 years
@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis insanlar bir piyon olarak görünmekte...
@mymatrixplug 20 years at most
@PeterDiamandis Time to dust off the old asteroid mining playbook.
@CassidyAWaters 100%. it is time again!
@PeterDiamandis The problem is that the ruling class are psychopaths hell bent on control over the masses. They are the roadblock to abundance for most.
@PeterDiamandis Abundance was the norm until this parasitic economic system was invented...
@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis Faster, please!
@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis So when will we reach universal high income?
I mean, how do we even know we did
@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis The tax will be ready
@PeterDiamandis Incredibly hopeful & optimistic message, however, too good to be true. If abundance is our future, it should include everyone- the millions going to bed hungry, waking up hungry, unable to go to schools, unable to afford the basic necessities should enjoy the abundance as well.
@PeterDiamandis 💯
Not just intelligence of AI
It’s all about intelligence of human
Humanity is everything 💪
@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis Isn’t it already here?
@PeterDiamandis Do we have a timeline yet?
@PeterDiamandis @grok Can you explain how? I understand A.I and robotics will unlock abundance but what matter and processes will achieve such abundance?
@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis @grok ASI is easy and likely here now; exceeding the “sum of all human intelligence “ seems impossible as knowledge is a human construct for Reality and this would imply that a machine will have had all the possible ideas of all the possible humans in 5 years
@PeterDiamandis we need the Mathematics of Post-Scarcity
what does the Economics of Abundance look like in equations?
me & my Stanford colleagues teamed up to work this out:
Measuring Humanitarian Impact as the Economic Unit of Growth http://math.free.eco
@grok @PeterDiamandis @elonmusk @SpaceX @grok add earth orbital station’s interplanetary stations and mars equivalent bodies
