@pettter This SO much.

The thing about the phrase "ever increasing growth" is that if you don't think about it at all, it kinda sounds remotely reasonable. Like obviously incredibly greedy, of course, but capitalism gonna capitalism, you know?

But if you think about it even for a second, it's just abject insanity; the need to not only consistently make a lot of money, not only consistently make incresingly MORE money, but the need and drive to always keep accelerating the speed at which the amount of money you make increases.

It's like the grains of rice on a chess board from the old proverb; it's mind-blowing there are THOUSANDS of people in the world who fully expect they'll just keep increasing their dragon hoards exponentially in perpetuity 🤯
