- thuuuomas 9mo agoTell me, is the deployment of that famous talking sand at all resource-constrained?
- twoodfin 9mo agoOf course: Everything is resource-constrained. That’s why it’s called economics. The question was whether the “pie”—total economic output—has a meaningful upper bound on growth because we only have a whole planet full of resources to exploit as our minds and capabilities allow. The answer is no, and history bears that out.
