The idea that “too much” wealth/value creation is a bad thing is a bug the political left needs to patch ASAP. Sustainability matters — it’s possible to borrow against the future at a bad rate — but slow growth (or even regression) as a political aesthetic is super concerning
hmm is their argument really that wealth/value creation is a bad thing or that it's distributed unequally? I don't think socialists today are the proletariat of yesterday: they want "free college, craft beers, and Brooklyn lofts" for everyone as @antoniogm memorably put it
Functionally the same thing, if you’re moving as fast as you can (with reasonable constraints re: sustainability). At least historically, the rewards of fast growth are reaped unequally. This ends up making everyone objectively better off & worse off relative to some other group
Yes I agree of course but don't think that's their stated argument (even if it may be the underlying truth). Also fwiw, some of the complaints about recent widening financial inequality are justified imo because it has been due to inflation of financial assets + response to '08
https://www.epsilontheory.com/things-fall-apart-part-2/ … @epsilontheory does a better job of showing this w/some interesting graphs
only aspect where I see this definitively being the case is when talking about the environment + future, it's never about human wealth/happiness/flourishing but the polar bears or baby seals . etc
This is not remotely true, when people talk about climate they talk about coastal flooding, food shortages, refugees, etc, all things that affect people
not talking about climate change specifically although I guess thats the word for all environmentalism these days. Just in general where there's a lot of "it would be better for the Earth if humans weren't around or if there were less" or other similar anti-natalist positions
