What about a third option, where we neither grow nor shrink? False dichotomies, anyone?

- randomdata 2y agoA system without at least some noise is effectively impossible. A system of this complexity is bound to have quite a lot of noise to contend with.
- tempfile 2y agoNeither grow nor shrink on average - it's quite possible for a noisy system to be stable.
- randomdata 2y agoBy that token, as far as we know the system has always been stable, only that not enough datapoints to overcome the noise have been observed yet. What we are observing being anything other than noise is highly unlikely.
- marcosdumay 2y agoIt's a false dichotomy. But also, we need to gain efficiency, and quickly. That constitutes as growth. The degrowth ideas don't differentiate what kind of growth they are fighting, neither does targeting neutral growth. You can't target a single number that accurately, we need a details-based intervention.
