That's what they told us in the 60s/70s/80s and we're still working as much while our standards are lowering but ok, we'll automagically fix things, we're just waiting for the right time
- seec 3y agoStandards are lowering precisely because there are too many people chasing the same ressources... You can't share everything beyond a certain point. The boomerism view of infinite growth is incredibly stupid especially if you start evaluating material requirement for a standard rich boomer lifestyle. The only reason we could have so many people on the planet at once is because almost half of them live in poverty, close to animal standard with some human technology sprinkled in some place... It's just shortsighted to believe that having so many people was sustainable in the first place.
