“Post-scarcity” is imaginary as long as the first and second laws of thermodynamics continue to hold.


Post-scarcity does not mean everyone gets an infinite supply of things.


The only coherent opposite of “scarce” is “infinite”.


That's one opinion. The common one is that the opposite of "infinite" is "none" and the opposite of "scarce" is "abundant".

This is also the dictionary's opinion, I don't know whether dictionaries are "coherent" to you though.
