Your "rebuttals" are a prime example of normalcy bias.

Not surprising though, pretty much everyone born in the past 60 years has become accustomed to a ridiculous "normal" that has been built on a fossil fuel house of cards.

They're not though.

GC mentioned "total factor productivity", which is not just an assumption that things will stay the same. It's a measure that value (productivity) actually is increasing, all the time.

And the other rebuttals were pointing out flaws with GGC's arguments, none of which relied on "the status quo works".
