  1. Population growth is a Ponzi scheme.
    Post WWII maybe not, but for at least the last 50 years.
    If anything, population decline is an arbiter of wealth and leisure.
    With AI-enabled robots wayyyy closer to common than many think (but not the Chinese) a world overburdened with useless eaters who can’t even get a job delivering food, will be a catastrophic place of misery and lamentations.

    1. “Things are geared for growth.”
      Read Genesis. Be fruitful and multiply.
      Plenitude as an irrefutable concept.
      Wander into the woods and see for yourself.
      Amazing Creation.
      The Earth abides forever.

      1. Stevie – to paraphrase the magic negro, Obama … how many trees is enough? A million? A million billion? Nobody can enjoy all the trees at once. What’s wrong with Mother Nature spawning those HUGE tracts of forests that go on forever? As Regan reportedly said … you’ve seen one tree, you’ve seen em all? Put a Redwood in a museum and cut em all down!

    Pension plans are a Ponzi scheme dependent on a growing population.
