There are two reasons at least for contimuing growth. The first is to increase wealth, so we have more mansions, more yachts, more billionaires, more greed, more stuff. The second is to alleviate poverty. Clearly Amy continued growth will run into resource limits eventually. We'll run out of fuels, exotic metals, fresh water, processing power, and cooling ability, eventually. But the limit to decreasing poverty is just -- no poverty. And that is in theory achievable. We can reduce the amount of hungry and unhomed people to near zero without running out of resources, at least provided population levels plateau. Achieving that goal would make it easier for us to re-examine the need for growth of the first kind.
