>a compulsion to demonstrate the possibility of unending growth which is, frankly, impossible. I hate this saying. Why is unending growth impossible? Nobody seems to every try to explain it. Economic growth is generally improvement of society in some way. Usually it's about new inventions and ideas that spread more. Better ways to make things that people want, more efficient ways etc. if you come up with a more efficient fuel then that's still economic growth and the upside is that resource usage can decrease for the same benefit. Math is essentially proven to be unending. There's always going to be something more to be discovered. Doesn't this mean that unending growth is possible? Of course, in practice "unending" only means "for a very long time". We are nowhere near a point where we have exhausted new advancements.
