There are other extrapolations. Humans put their minds in computers -> people need more and more computing power to do the things they want to do -> all available matter is turned into processors -> energy is need to run them all. They only thing limited humans at that point is matter for processors and energy to run them. Everything else is pointless.
That has nothing to do with "maximize comsumption, ignore pollution, expand at all costs."
