.@naval: “The whole concept of degrowth is nonsense. Nobody actually engages in degrowth in their everyday life. Nobody lowers their standard of living. Nobody wants to be less fit. Nobody wants to be less healthy. Nobody wants to be less knowledgeable. Nobody wants less of anything. So the idea that society as a whole is going to go through degrowth is just a form of suicide. Now, these bad ideas are basically a tax on good ideas. But any society that chooses degrowth will simply be outcompeted by societies that don’t. And there are plenty of societies that are not going to degrowth themselves. You can go to rural India, rural China, or anywhere in that part of the world to see what a degrowth society looks like. It’s the pre-growth society—it’s the same thing. It’s high infant mortality. It’s malnutrition. It’s lack of access to health care. And again, it’s the fundamental mistake of saying, ‘Oh, we’re done. We’ve figured everything out, and we’re going to stop here and now. We’re just going to divide up the loot.’ Complete nonsense. Would you even go back 10 years in time and lose out on all the medicines, computing, knowledge, and travel that we’ve invented in the last decade? Absolutely not. I wouldn’t even go back to iPhone 14.”
