Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell, which eventually kills its host. Granted. But at the same time, degrowth for the sake of degrowth is the ideology of getting us permanently stuck in a bad place and still end up destroying the Earth, albeit a bit more slowly and in somewhat better taste. We need to rediscover our Promethean ambitions if we are to achieve "escape velocity" from the quagmire we are currently in, God willing.

Interesting perspective on growth versus degrowth. It’s definitely a complex issue.
Thanks. Indeed it is.
