Unlimited growth eventually leads to resource shortages. And we’re about to see a massive amount of growth from a lot of countries in the next century (not to mention how the west is about to spend electricity on ai and/or crypto in the near future)
- RetroTechie 3y ago> And we’re about to see a massive amount of growth from a lot of countries in the next century Probably a lot of such previously projected growth will be stunted by said resource shortages. We're going to see many "peak X" events in relatively short time. There can still be growth. But one way or the other, it will have to be growth within roughly-constant or declining resource limits. Lower carbon intensity per unit economic output, more recycling as source of raw materials, more 'green' / bio-based products, etc.
