> Cutting back and focusing on quality for a century or two seems like a good idea. I don't have a strong opinion one way or another, but a half century without a growing population seems like it'll cause some changes/consequences for investment and retirement. Will the overall stock market grow faster than inflation when there aren't more customers to buy stuff? Can you actually save for retirement when your investments don't grow? I have no idea how things will change, but it's not obvious that quality of life will improve.
