Agreed. I think there are a lot of policy makers who have a LOT of trouble coping with the idea that humans aren't primarily rational actors contributing to a self-regulating market system in all things… People seek consumption, money, and power. There's no real self-regulating mechanism for any of these things, as far as the drives of the humans that manifest those outcomes. We don't automatically have an 'enough' meter. As such, we don't manage ourselves well, and it falls to larger systems to identify these losses and mitigate them… which is always contentious. I always feel these 'actually exponential growth is good' arguments end up resting on suspicious grounds. They fall into the category of moral arguments, where the moral is 'I should not have to examine or curtail my own whims'.
