How to make the Bulls on Wall Street Happy
One of the generally agreed upon, but rarely discussed and usually ignored aspects of reality... is that the Earth has not been growing all that much larger lately. A lonely meteorite smashes in once in a while, that's about it. Yet we pray to invoke 'growth' as the salvation of civilization. It would indeed be a miracle if the Earth suddenly started growing significantly larger. New continents just popping up everywhere. New and improved oceans. Plenty of big new oil field discoveries, bigger than Saudi Arabia, daily. Brand new phosphate mines. An ever expanding cornucopia of fresh fertile soils. Sparkling clean air. Free xtra sized drinking water supplies. And, of course, increasingly larger dumps for all our crap, but NIMBY. It would probably make the Bulls on Wall Street very happy.
