It is a completely artificial thing. When one resource is being used to make a particular item that people want, and that resource is less plentiful, or less renewable, or harmful to the environment in some way, you find another more sustainable, more renewable, or less toxic to the environment--resource or material with which to make that particular item. Examples could be hemp for paper, rope, cloth, building materials, plastics, medicine, and countless other things. ..instead of cutting down trees for wood and paper, or growing cotton for cloth, and so forth. Also, without planned obsolescence, or without the need for everyone to own one or more of any given thing...and with products being made to last as long as possible, be made easy to upgrade or repair when needed, etc., and with a system which replaces ownership with access abundance and usership ..many fewer of everything would need to be produced. Goods would be used when needed, by whomever needs them, for as long as they need them...but when one person does not need an item anymore, it will be available for someone else to use. All of these things greatly reduces the waste of resources, while giving everyone access to whatever they need without the restriction of price tags. It is not a contradiction to say scarcity is artificial while some things are indeed finite, and non-renewable, and can run out if over used. The reason that this is not a contradiction, is that things which can run out, or are harmful to the environment, do not need to be used. We simply change what we are making things from, and that will allow us to have as many of a given product as needed, without wasting non-renewable resources. Water is another resource that some people claim is scarce. But, it is only clean water which is becoming scarce. That is because we are polluting the water. But, there are already technologies which can clean the water, and desalinate ocean water. We are not using these technologies as much as we could be...because industry does not consider it profitable to do so. There are many beneficial things that we could already be doing, but industry and the status quo do not consider them profitable. Money is about power, greed, control, and profit before people or the environment.

What is reality? Reality is what we make it. Reality is that we get what we allow and accept. Reality is a projection of the collective mind...and reality will change, once the collective changes its mind. There is no "out there". The so called elite whose ancestors hijacked this reality thousands of years ago--know this very well. They know how this reality is created, and to control the kind of reality we create, they relentlessly control what the masses think--through various different means. Television, advertising, the indoctrination which masquerades as education, religion, mainstream media, subliminal messages hidden in movies and TV shows, and many more. They control the reality we experience by controlling our minds. ..to control the reality we create. And, I am perfectly aware that some people think that stuff like what I just said, is crazy...but others already know..and they don't think it is crazy at all. I am positive that the so called elite don't think it is crazy at all...but they want the masses to think it is crazy, because they would not be able to use this knowledge against humanity if everyone knew it--so they want to keep it to themselves.
