Your first statement makes no sense in regards to what I said. I particularly said economic growth would be fine if it was gone about in sustainable ways. What does 'current state without growth mean'? The current state has growth, so if you're proposing a state of no growth, it would be a completely different situation.

If you interpreted my comment as saying 'the planet is fine, humanity is fine', I would re-read it a few times, think about it for 5 minutes, and then make a comment.

Capitalism itself cannot thrive when production/consumption slows down, even in terms of GDP, a -2% growth or worse is considered catastrophic to the economy. So no, I don't think we are going down a good path if the only way to stay afloat is to keep pumping out more crap.

I find that given the current economy is already so ridiculously far off from sustainable that there's no realistic way we can keep pumping out more crap and at the same time be sustainable.
