The question isn't whether there are limits (given finite space, yes, of course) but what those limits are. The Limits of Growth and adjacent material are driven by an unfounded conviction that we are close to those limits.
- titzer 5y agoWell we are certainly getting further and further from those limits, because we cruised past them in 1970 [1] and it's gotten worse every year. We have the luxury of denial precisely because Earth's reservoirs are so deep we haven't immediately emptied them; we need a few more decades for that.
