We're abundant creating machines, it's in our DNA. Throughout history we've always created abundance from scarce resources. You can see this in every major breakthrough:

• Agriculture turned the scarcity of wild food into the abundance of farming.
• Electricity turned the scarcity of human/animal labor into abundant energy on demand.
• The Internet turned the scarcity of information into abundant, nearly free access to knowledge.

So my argument would be the opposite: we're programmed for a world of abundance.
