We live on a finite planet. "More" can't last forever. That why people talk about degrowth. Growth is unsustainable on our planet. Either we degrow with control, or we collapse.

I suggest you play with the recently added timeline feature on Google Maps: notice how close we are as a species to a bacteria colony in a Petri dish. The forest areas of the world are especially impressive. You can see "mold" spreading on them at exponential speed.
