Comment on is this copium or hopium or schizophrenia?

The first paragraph? Can’t say I disagree.
Second paragraph? Delusional.

Paragraphs are bodies of text. So the second paragraph in this scenario is the one where we are only a few breakthroughs away.

He agrees that we can treat all human disease? That’s silly.

We already have abundance at scale; the rest is just greed and logistics

It’s enough to look at how much stuff is available in a supermarket, or in the average, home, to know we live in an age of abundance. The problem is, is that abundance is not shared, but hoarded.
We have enough food to feed the world, we have enough production for everyone in the world to have a smartphone and internet access and electricity. We can make clothes for everyone, we can home everyone. We have enough healthcare for everyone.
By an objective measure, we have abundance, we have enough. The world is just severely mismanaging our resources and the distribution of them. Because the economy doesn’t work for humans, instead humans work for the economy.
