We base the health of our current (flawed)Economic System, on how much exponential growth it has. Growth of Consumption mostly, correct? How many Condos/Houses we build, buy and sell. How much "stuff" we make or buy. How well the Currency Markets grow or shrink. How high Oil, and precious metal prices are...etc.
How is this a good idea?
By the very nature of our existence, unlimited growth is impossible. We live on a single small planet, a closed system where by it's very nature, we are ultimately limited in how far we can expand. There's only so much space. So much Air. So much clean Water. We cannot grow exponentially without consequence. We cannot continue to consume indefinitely. So by the very nature of the current System, we're doomed to fail. Sooner or later "growth" will become impossible.
Unless we change our ways and our thinking, stop obsessing over how big our houses are, how much "stuff" we have.... we're essentially moving towards mass suicide. Are we not? Too many humans, overpopulating. Cosuming too much of a finite resource, within a closed system that's already taxed to the limit and beyond. For what? To make "money"? What good is that when you're dead from starvation, or War over the last sources of clean fresh water?
Is that Million Dollar house in the city, or Condominium apartment really worth it when you can't grow food there, or keep any animals?
I'm not sure where I'm going with this... but I've been seeing a lot of nonsense lately that's got me wondering what the Hell is going on with people...
