Life after Capitalism [en]

The video analyzes The Orville's depiction of a post-scarcity society, arguing that modern capitalism thrives on manufactured scarcity to maintain profit and power. It uses the show's "matter synthesizer," which can create any good, as a thought experiment on technology's role.

The central societal issue explored is that advanced technology alone is insufficient to solve global problems like poverty.

In contrast, the Orville’s society shows a paradigm where people work not for money, but for purpose and reputation.
