Organic energy is now obsolete.
Civilization no longer requires billions of loser men to fire the guns and press the buttons.

Fully automated manufacturing and industry will occur far sooner than any of this vr simulation stuff. There won't be any "poor" people by 2200. Most of humanity will have been phased out by this point and only those changed by designer dna editing technologies will remain. By 2200 we will have isolated the genetic markers for genius level IQs and gone way beyond what can be imagined currently as "human intelligence" Not through interfacing with AI thats all bullshit. It'll be through designing people in utero. "Logistic chains" will have become almost completely autonomous by this point.

All of this will happen infinitely sooner than a digitized electric "heaven". We're so much closer to editing the human genome and perfecting autonomous complex manufacturing processes and driverless vehicles than anything thats being properly discussed in this thread.

90% of the human race are superfluous meat. The complexity of our modern systems has resulted in a supply and demand problem. The supply being competent & capable people who resemble something more than a mere animal. Demand is much much higher than supply. And so our systems make do with what they can get.
