Okay, but do we need Golden Gate bridges, and do I need the next running water? I don't look at the world and think "you know what? We're missing technological solutions". I think I am basically ideologically opposed to the writer of this blog post. A lot of people just have this explicit ideology of "all we need to do is improve technology" but I do not find it convincing. I would rather look at why we think we need continuous growth. What is wrong with a world where we make what we need, own it ourselves, and live on that? Unlike Buffet, I am not convinced that continuous growth is desirable.
