You can grow money via debt on spreadsheets indefinitely, but the
planet keeping you alive has PHYSICAL limits, being only 7,926 miles
in diameter. You can only pretend for so long that those limits aren't
real (blind economic growthism). The pretending should have stopped
decades ago but greed and lack of birth control keep displacing
reason.

Economic growth is the endless replacement of nature with people.
The idiots are way too stupid to understand that, Since it's not
only
bad enough that the Earth is only 7926 miles in diameter,
since the only thing thing 95% of the idiots even know about
miles is statute miles, rather than nautical miles, kilometers,
parsecs,
or light-years, that's also why the people with non-zero
economic brains also have to work on optical computers, holograms,
holographics,
digital fiber optics data links, cell phones, on-line shopping, on-
line shopping,
thermo-electric cooling, microwave cooling, C++, XML, USB, Flat
Screen HDTV software debuggers,
Blue Ray, light sticks, all-in-one printers, distributed
processing, on-line publishing,
self-replicating machines, self-assembling robots, AUVs, atomic
clock wristwatches,
gps, digital-terrain mapping, compact flourescent lightimg, cruise
missiles, phalanx, and drones.
Rather than also being forced into being the permanent Oprah-
Wannabee idiots that they are.
