Economists are too stupid to figure out what growth is.
If you are not subtracting the losses you are not accurately computing growth. What about DEMAND SIDE DEPRECIATION? How much do consumers lose on the depreciation of the supposedly durable junk they buy? When was the last time you heard economists mention
NET DOMESTIC PRODUCT
The nitwit economists only subtract the Supply Side Depreciation. The system depends on consumers being dumber than economists.
What a rubbish video. It massively oversimplifies. It implies that technology can only delay, not prevent an outcome. Technology enables us to turn a negative into a positive. Using the lake as an example, harvest the lily pads and use it for something useful.
I HATE videos that imply that we are all screwed. The difference between humans and yeast is that humans have the ability to REASON. We can work out our problems if we think of solutions instead of telling people that it is a lost cause
Good idea! We could kill our surplus population, make them into soilent green protein bars and eat them. Or we could start with birth control. Which solution would you prefer?
Technology can help, but as the video clearly shows, it can not replace birth control.
The colonisation project on the moon will demonstrate, what a paradise earth is. I suggest, that we give our planet a break and wait until travel in space will be possible before we overshoot and loose our chance to leave earth.
Growth figures do not reveal the dangers lurking behind its innocent and appealing mask. If corporates were to grow, then the *extent of appropriation of nature* also doubles - which means whatever corporates have contributed to the detriment of nature in the entire civilisation history of makind, also is going to get doubled in the next few years. This should be the most horrendous situation for any life species in this planet. What a tragedy this is turning out to be, perishing this way ??
