The Age of Abundance Has Already Begun
For six thousand years, humanity has lived by a single story: the story of scarcity.
That story shaped our politics, our economies, our religions, and even our fears.
But what if that story is ending?
In this episode of Disrupt Consciousness, Roel Smelt explores how the next generation of sodium-ion batteries — made from one of the most abundant elements on Earth, salt — is quietly proving Tony Seba’s predictions right once again.
It’s not just about better batteries. It’s about a deeper civilizational shift — from scarcity to abundance.
A transition that thinkers like Peter Diamandis call the meta-curve of humanity: where energy, food, and information become exponentially cheaper, and the real limits move from material to mental — imagination, wisdom, and coordination.
Roel connects the dots between Tony Seba’s S-curve model, Peter Diamandis’ Abundance 360 vision, and the spiritual realization that abundance is not about having more — it’s about needing less, because everything essential flows freely.
This isn’t utopia. It’s mathematics meeting consciousness.
The question is not whether abundance is coming — but whether humanity is ready to live consciously within it.
