35/ In fact, we may not have to wait even a thousand years for our standard of life to drop.
The negative externalities of stuff we produce (such as greenhouse gases, pollution, garbage, biodiversity loss, attention loss, and so on) could pose a much bigger cost to humans than the benefit they get from producing and consuming more stuff.
This is just a matter of measuring the produced growth. It’s economic growth to create filters to reduce pollution. The same goes for electric cars in cities.
This is interesting. I agree that the various cleanup technologies add to the economic growth.
My point was more suggestive in the sense of whether that poses a practical constraint to economic growth (in terms of say negative feedback loops) when the cost of cleanup outstrips the benefit derived (and hence putting an upper limit to the desire of the benefit).
