The questions this poster is genuinely asking Alec unfortunately reflect profoundly FALSE but widespread beliefs underpinning the tragically popular “degrowth” movement:

- That wealth cannot be created (it’s a zero-sum game in which the more powerful extract resources from the less powerful)

- That energy consumption and carbon emissions will be directly correlated forever

These two beliefs alone create a catastrophic worldview that brings about the very apocalypse it seeks to avoid. They must be relentlessly and systematically countered.
