Perhaps eponential growth isn’t a problem because its not happening. What exponent are we using for exponential growth? The modern graphs look more like a log 2

Perhaps eponential growth isn’t a problem because its not happening. What exponent are we using for exponential growth? The modern graphs look more like a log 2 or log e.
Infinite growth is a potential problem that is rooted in limits of efficiency, availability of resources, and most importantly the demands/expectations/despiration of people. We can support more people. The real question is what the sustainable limit is. Lifestyle is perhaps the biggest factor, but that changes as does the technology to support it. It seems our species likes to live on the edge of maximum consumption. I feel that given a long enough timeline, that will be disastrous when we feel we deserve more, but there is no more unless it is taken.
