As bilekas was saying, the one fundamental reason why growth must not be so important is that it cannot continue ad infinitum, thus we will have to learn and cope with that.
While you state an important point, the issue of growth having to stop (sooner or later) cannot be ignored.
- anchpop 7y agoWhy can't it be ignored? I think we're very far away from the point where growth is impossible. We haven't even left Earth yet. Imagine the amount of wealth you could create with a moon-based space elevator.
- SkyMarshal 7y agoGrowth may eventually stop if humans remain constrained to Earth, but if we can advance to a point where we can mine the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the wealth influx from that will be enough to sustain growth in human society far into the future.
- Kaiyou 7y agoThe universe is for all intends and purposes infinite. Why shouldn't infinite growth be possible?
