 All right, current New Yorker has a story proposing that economic growth is not required for prosperity, what's your opinion? I mean, that's just silly, right? If you don't grow, then what is it? It's a zero sum game. So we're just redistributing what already exists. How does that lead to prosperity? And given the human needs, human desires, human wants constantly expand a constantly greater than how are you going to deal with that in a, in a no growth economy? And no growth economy means again, zero sum, everything gets distributed. And now they would like you to believe that because they don't want economic growth. And the reason they don't want economic growth is twofold. One, they understand that the only way to get economic growth is through capitalism and they reject capitalism. And two, they don't want economic growth because they believe that man is a cancer on the planet and that economic growth is destructive to planet Earth. They realize that in order to for economic growth to happen, that the the band changes as environment and therefore affects the environment around him and is going to have an impact on that environment and they worship the environment above human prosperity. So the idea of human prosperity, they can't even define human prosperity. Oh, you know, we could all meditate all day instead of working hard and, and, you know, we can all grow, go, go back to subsistence farming and farm, but that's not prosperity. And that's not happiness and that's not success. Again, what happens to the ambitious hardworking person? Well, if there's no economic growth, they have no way to go. And the only success they can achieve is that somebody else's expense because it's the pie is limited. What we need today, what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think, meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins or mystic revelations, any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist growth.
