The cost of things separates us. If we progress, the cost of things should go down. Price is a crude clearing tool in a world of scarcity. The numbers should get smaller as we get better at doing what needs doing. If they don't, something is broken. If they don't, it means we are artificially keeping numbers up so we can signal our superiority over others. Health, Education, Transport, and Housing should be getting cheaper. To a point where the basics are abundant. In a world of abundance, the rules are different. Perhaps we are scared of that? Perhaps we are scared of a world where we can't signal our success with a bigger number?
