@Naval on degrowth (1/2)

“Nobody actually engages in degrowth in their actual 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, it's just suicide of a sort. Now, these bad ideas, they basically get tax on the good ideas. But any society that degrowth itself will simply get outcompeted by the societies that don't degrowth themselves.

interesting take, Naval! 🤔 i get the point but isn't it about being smarter with resources? like, not about having less but using less wastefully?
