A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
We're in a post information scarcity society and there are still people out there who think the Earth is flat.
Simply providing people with the answers is not enough you actually have to make them believe those answers, and there's always going to be people who are desperate to not accept those answers because doing so would make them the same as everyone else, and of course that's not possible because they are special. And they are special, just not in the way that they want to be.
What's the alternative then?
The reason you are post scarcity is because other people around the world are not. This imbalance in wealth is because of capitalism
You fail to understand in your eagerness to jump on a soapbox.
The numbers simply do not lie:
There is not one reason for anyone, anywhere, to go without food, water, or shelter. That some regions lack the production is irrelevant, others over produce and still refuse to meet the needs of their own, much less others.
It's because we're bad at distributing resources equally. Don't really care if you don't like the fact I used the word capitalism.
The question is; is it capitalism that causes our inability to properly allocate resources or is it just the fact that humans are bad at allocating resources? What economic system would incentivise the equal distribution of said resources?

Well I think it's normal since the common meaning of the central word is misrepresented. Post-scarcity means there is no scarcity, which is not the situation right now. Also the title says "post information scarcity" which i didn't now was a thing and that we still don't have. Factually correct information is not very easy to come by nowadays, and not easy to verify. And if we talk about scarcity of goods and services we certainly have a shitload of factories but some key jobs are not automated yet and in case nobody noticed we have some serious problems with natural resources.
