The world's materials resources are likewise infinite. Our entire planet is made up almost exclusively of the elements of magnesium, iron, nickel, and silicone. There are no limits to what one can build with these materials. Certainly, mankind needs to develop the technology to exploit these resources, which doesn't exist yet. It is not a simple task to separate the metals from the chemical bond that form rocks into which a large percentage of the earth's metals are bound. However, as things stand today, a possible technology for doing this has already been demonstrated in principle. The threshold towards its full realization is apparently only a few developmental steps away.
In principle, an infinite dimension is not a static dimension. It is a dimension that is marked by breakthrough after breakthrough. Mankind must want to go beyond today's primitive method of searching for ready made minerals, for instance, that may be easy to pick out of the ground, but are woefully inadequate to supply its advanced development needs.
A rule comes to light, here, namely that every step towards higher levels of technology opens the door to vastly more abundant resources than existed before. Eventually mankind will even discover how to rebuilt the atomic structures directly, at will, and be thereby be able to generate any desired element at any desired quantity. While this may never be necessary, it would certainly add yet another dimension to mankind's freedom.
Mankind's food resources are likewise infinite in nature. With high quality energy and materials available in infinite abundance, food production can be increased by several orders of magnitude and be carried out almost everywhere. Food production would then no longer be confined to today's primitive type of agriculture on outdoor fields. It could be shifted indoors, under ground, into multi-story structures, onto the surface of the oceans, under water, and even into space. No longer will it be deemed necessary, then, to kill people with hunger through induced underdevelopment, in order to depopulate the earth. The primitive utopia that some world rulers presently belief in, and are engaged in achieving, will then be seen as a crime against humanity. In such an environment of infinite development, the world will never be recognized as overpopulated. It will more likely be recognized as woefully underpopulated in respect to the opportunities that present themselves for mankind's expansion.
What is lacking, today, to turn the existing potential into reality is a new dimension of thinking. Nothing else is lacking. Extremely efficient and save nuclear power technology already exists to solve the growing energy production deficits. Nuclear power could transform the world right now if mankind would stop to subject itself to scare schemes that equate Chernobyl (which should be considered an engineering crime) with modern technology. The Three Mile Island, so-called accident, was apparently staged on purpose in order to make all nuclear scare stories more credible and to prevent mankind's potential self-development from becoming realized.
On the side of materials production, nothing is lacking either, in fundamental terms, to implement the requisite technology. All that is lacking is a staunch determination to realize the existing human potential. If one considers the present state of technological research and development in this department, which is near zero at the moment, an escalation to some reasonable levels could move mountains and transform the planet. The turnaround wouldn't even require a scientific revolution, though it would require a reversal of the present process of dismantling the world's existing research facilities. This dismantling is presently being pursued at an insane rate under the rubric of saving money.
Of course a new dimension of thinking is also required in the financial arena. The present course of a nation having to rent its economic life-blood from private institutions at the price of a king's ransom, is insane. On this platform nothing can be accomplished, as indeed nothing of significance has been accomplished for half a decade.
