Growth, like any good Ponzi Scheme
- cguess 4y agoExcept in this case the growth comes from building and selling real things.
- belltaco 4y agoCan you explain how economic growth is like a Ponzi scheme. Lets take an example, lower income people being able to afford buying computers and use them, so computer sales go up. How is that a Ponzi?
- p0pcult 4y agoThe finite supply of resources on earth.
- aristofun 4y agoHow do you prove they are finite? Were they finit 2000 years ago as well?

- p0pcult 4y agoIf there were an infinite amount of matter in a finite volume, we would be infinitely dense (well, some are anyway, but that's a different definition altogether), which would make Earth something that it is altogether not. Are you infinitely dense? (I am not; I can't prove it, but I suspect you are less than infinitely dense.)
- aristofun 4y agoWhat matter density has to do with resources required for people? Stop spreading this shitty nonsense about limited resources please.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoLuckily wealth isn't just a function of resources extracted from the earth. People create wealth.
