I think the economy is hitting real, hard barriers in resource extraction, energy usage, and number of people that buy and sell. That’s where stagnation comes from.

The real economy will stagnate. AI can automate some work and intensify future technological discoveries, but that won’t make energy any cheaper, clean our environment, create more humans, or make resources as easily extractable as they were 100 years ago.

The real economy can’t grow too much more than it’s current size, at least in the physical world.

Yeah there are hard limits but I think AI will help us be way more efficient and probably optimize reusability.
