would you like to talk about how cool replicators are and their role in helping achieve post-scarcity?
Or how it might be the opposite. I’m in the camp that says it’s because humans progressed as a species that they could make a post-scarcity society work. If replicators got invented today some billionaire would just patent it and lock it behind DRM.
Replicators didn’t even help humans achieve the post-scarcity society. Humans already had a post-scarcity society by the time they were given replicator technology by another race.

I’m not sure I agree. Replicators are basically just better 3D printers, and those are pretty readily available.
