> Growth is that continuing.

For how long? Until when?

What is the endgame?



Until everyone on Earth is satisfied with their quality of life. Growth doesn't necessarily mean doing more, sometimes you can achieve growth by doing less. This will become a bigger focus in future.

And then what? How will you maintain that?

And how much of other species' habitats would we ruin to achieve that in the first place?

People may never be satisfied with their lives as long as they perceive inequality (real or imagined).


Put it this way, if economic growth no longer happens, then we aren't growing as a species either. Are any of us prepared for the ramifications of humanity's peak?
