"Human wants are unlimited." - core principle of economics

Material abundance is something we're almost all striving for in our daily lives, so it would be hypocritical to say that's not what I want. Revealed preference > cheap talk.

There's still plenty of scarcity in the world, in terms of relationships, creative endeavors, leisure activites, etc. We only get to do one thing at a time, so it's not like our choices stop mattering.
