There is no alternative to continuing growth
Is this really true? Was it irrefutably demonstrated at some point or something? Everybody seems to subscribe to this idea but it seems insane to me.

I was told in church, John D., that the earth's max capacity is 24 billion humans. Don't ask how they calculated that, I do not know.

They didn't need to calculate it. It came as a revelation to them.

"An angel on a sea of glass put a book in my mouth: I have seen the Beast and Great Whore of Babylon"
a column by John Gray
― Abbott, Tuesday, 1 April 2008 02:38 (eighteen years ago)
Beat me to it J0hn D, I've got the same quote in my clipboard.
― Z S, Tuesday, 1 April 2008 03:02 (eighteen years ago)
I guess the reality is that there are clear alternatives, but they're not politically viable.
Why the fuck does anyone listen to John Gray these days? Can't he just stick to the 9/11 conspiracy conferences he's been milking?

Different John Gray, nevermind

the idea is insane, but as capitalism and continuing growth are basically the same thing, i can't see any challenge to this orthodoxy anytime soon
