More fossil fuels can be done with enough time, so fossil fuels are infinite too as long as time doesn't cease to exist, right? Sorry, but I don't understand where you want to get. If we take that point of view, then everything is infinite, and it is impossible to have a discussion about economy in that context.
- camhart 5y agoNot every wealth creation activity requires the consumption of wood. Some require nothing but time. The wooden spoon was merely a simple example of how someone can make wealth. Time is a resource that appears to be infinite--at least until an extinction level event that wipes all humans off the face of the planet (time would still exist, but our time to make wealth would be gone). We have gone down a rabbit hole, and it sounds like you (and I too) no longer wish to dig any deeper. The point is when the rich get wealthy it doesn't demand the non-rich to get more poor.
