I'm not an advocate of growth. Consumerism and capitalism are stupid and suicidal for mankind.

But malthusianism is still as stupid as it was in the 15th century.

Human population won't grow infinitely first. Which means there isn't an infinite amount of resources to find. And second, there is also space where we can go. Not to fuel stupid consumerist shit but simply to expand our hirzons and universe.

There are more philosophies to see the world through than just growth and degrowth.
