Sorry, this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine when people argue that exponential economic growth can continue forever, which flies in the face of anything remotely resembling critical thought. It’s just so depressing that people are so in denial over basic features of reality. You know that bad things are about to happen when people can’t face reality.


"which flies in the face of anything remotely resembling critical thought. It’s just so depressing that people are so in denial over basic features of reality."

Stop attacking with ad hominem and address the argument -> there is absolutely nothing preventing perpetual growth. Nothing at all.

History has shown there to be consistent exponential rates of growth through long periods, and it's utterly reasonable to assume this will continue.
