Because the economy and thus everything around you relies on constant growth.
Personally I'd be happy with a world with a lot less people, finding some sort of equilibrium. But it would necessitate a lot of pain to get there.

- croes 3y agoNot everything needs to grow constantly, most of the time you don't need more people, the people just need more money.

For starters, a lot of academics and other people who currently work on relatively useless problems like the Higgs boson could actually put their mind to work on something more practical and we'd come up with all sorts of inventions to make our lives easier, and perhaps we wouldn't make the old mistakes of being very unsustainable.
