Maybe..... just maybe we find something that isn't reliant on exponential growth. Our resources are finite and yet we adhere to an economic ideology that only cares about profit, at any/all cost.
If you've ever played factorio you kinda understand them (capitalists).. The factory must grow!
Joking aside, it's absurd how everyone is just sucked into, we must all work 40 hour weeks and then trade and use all that value, even if it's random stuff that is soon going to the landfill anyway.
I have sunk way too many hours into that game lol, but that is probably an analogy I really understand.
We waste an absurd amount of resources needlessly, and so much of it is buried under ground..... like a child who cleans their room by pushing everything under the bed.
