The fallacy of perpetual market growth is based upon capitalizing the ever more expending slavery of the third world and branding any kind of human interpersonal interaction as a potential monetry trasnaction.
Today wee have peoepl giving advices for money, others selling us bottled water and still others promoting one world government, one world army, one world court and one world taxation system under one world currency.
It is sad to see TED transforming to be the voice of the New World Order.

The point is that libertarianism (unbridaled capitalism) gives you the freedom to die alone. Liberalism gives you freedom FROM disease by providing healthcare as a human right, etc. Democratic socialism is the most progressive and advanced form of society.

Growth and value do not equal volume of consumable goods.

Growth and value are not in the volume of goods, but in the utility of goods. By improving technics of production and technologies we can create more utility with less ressources. Finites ressources do not limite growth, thus the "ideal of growth" is not an escapism.

You may say whatever you like. Yet your litanies are not relevant to the video nor to TED, and thus was of no interest.
What would you think if someone was posting about "The New world order", "Jesus Our Savior", "2012" or "The Judgment Day" in the comment section of a TED's video about anything BUT the New world order, Jesus 2012 etc. ?
