> Why is it a limited resource world? That is probably a more profound question than you might think. But one answer is, because we are in the saturation area of the logistical curve. Just like the feedback of a guitar amp infinitly amplifying itself, there is a point where it won't get any louder as you run into the physical limits of its electrical components, changing the sound of everything fundamentally. We are limited because our earth is a globe with a atmosphere so thin, if you scaled the earth down to the size of an apple its peel would be way thicker than the Earth's. It is limited for the same reason my living room is limited: It has a certain geometric extent and that's it. Let's say I put stuff into this room. If my goal was to put 5% more stuff into that room each week you probably would angle your head and ask me if I was crazy. Rightfully so. Now my point was precisely this: growth sucks as an organizing principle in a world of limited resources. It would be better to figure out how to make use of the resources in a better way. Ans we even know how to do this on a smaller level. But somehow we ended up with a ruling class that well.. doesn't profit from extracting value from putting more stuff into the room, so we do just that.
