"Once we appreciate that physical growth must one day cease... we can come to realize that all economic growth must similarly end." 
@paulbaumgart perhaps. but dont confuse economic growth with anything important :)
@psygnisfive it's highly correlated with freedom in recent decades
@paulbaumgart sure, but so is lots of things. economic growth is just an abstraction. growth can halt, that doesnt mean progress halts
@paulbaumgart besides, the definition of growth is consistent with, among other things, supply shortages
@paulbaumgart "Economic growth is the increase in the inflation-adjusted market value of the goods and services produced by an economy"-wiki
@paulbaumgart value-qua-price goes up if supply goes down. hooray, growth! but obviously thats just a bad definition :)
@paulbaumgart and consider: a world where 3d printing + automated manufacturing can make almost anything you want for basically $0..
@psygnisfive Yeah, energy efficiency is already starting to matter, and will increase in importance.
