All the incentive structures in capitalism reward growth. It’s true in all levels of all companies. It will be excruciatingly hard to change.

If we can’t make life work on the planet we were literally designed for, we won’t make it work on any of the completely uninhabitable other planets we have access to.

It will be very tough economically as fewer people will need to work to support those in retirement. Economic problems, in turn tend to lead to social unrest and a turn to extremist political positions and solutions.
