Scarcity of what? Food, water, sanitary infrastructure, shelter, healthcare? Yeah that is bad.
Scarcity of pretty rocks, some people want to wear as accessoires? Fine whatever. Also i wouldn’t mind the mining of scarce and pretty rocks, if it wouldn’t go with the destruction of the environment and human rights abuses.
“Fine whatever” until someone thinks that the pretty rock that we used to base the entire financial system around is what we still should base it around again, despite the fact that the whole economy could crash if someone digs a hole in the right place or develops some new refining technology.
Well, if we had less oil, gas and coal it could make things a lot better with climate change.
Abundance can also lead to wastefullness. But generally speaking it just doesn’t matter if pretty rocks are scarce or not, if they don’t have any value in fulfilling human needs.

Scarcity of anything is a bad idea. Shouldn’t we WANT to live in a land of plenty?
