I heard exact same statement a decade or two ago.
- neuronic 7y agoAre you suggesting that growth is infinite?
- eej71 7y agoNot quite - but what makes us so successful aren't the resources themselves but our (nearly) endless ability to be creative, to learn, to understand, to come up with new ways to make use of those finite resource. In a sense, the effective supply of oil has increased thanks to our increase in the supply of knowledge. I expect that to continue for many lifetimes to come.
