The world has become consumed by the idea that growth at all cost is good. It’s normalised now.

Businesses should simultaneously make record profits and lay people off to make more profits, human populations should grow grow grow, growth mindset, deregulate for growth, consume all resources for growth. It’s all about this quarters results.

Another way of looking at is uncontrolled growth is cancerous. It consumes the host, until the host dies.

@GossiTheDog I guess we aren't stopping to define "growth" in a proper context itself. Growth of what, exactly? Would it be feasible existentially? What are the costs? Why is a particular growth desirable while the costs are bearable?
