It&#x27;s lasted what, 20 years so far? You say it won&#x27;t work forever; we can&#x27;t just reproduce ourselves out of the problem (by encouraging policies the promote couples to have more children).<p>At some point, we will decide growth is over and isn&#x27;t coming back. It feels like we&#x27;re close to that point. And good! You can have a great quality of life without neverending growth.
