I mean, I’m advocating for renewable resources… that doesn’t me arbitrarily stopping consumption. It means reorienting consumption to being responsible.

Mechanized farming, for example, prevents famine because it’s wildly more efficient than subsistence farming. Arbitrary “degrowth” does not address the fact that consumption isn’t arbitrary.

Most consumption is arbitrary.

I don’t actually know that is true.

How much of out consumption is food, housing, healthcare, and transportation of those things? I suspect it’s well over 50% of income.
