I just want to remind you guys that economic growth is not the all-in-all solution for prosperity. Basically 3% economic growth (f.ex.) means around about 3% energy consumption growth. And studies show (inb4 (((studies)))) that if energy or electricity consumption grows at 3% every single year, that will mean that at that rate, the world will reach boiling temperature within 400 years.
This doesn't even have anything to do with global warming, it's just what will happen if the laws of thermodynamics are applied (which they have to be) because the earth will simply not be able to dissipate the sheer amount of heat generated by all this energy activity.
So we can't just keep growing and expanding till eternity, we have to find other solutions. The reason I'm making this thread is because /pol/ seems to have little regard for real economics, you just think that Trump will magically change the way compound interest, debt or inflation works. It won't happen guys, and I think a collapse of the industrial society is imminent.
Our current energy predicament is that we simply won't have enough capital (probably most important) or cheap energy to run Walt Disneyworld, The US Army, The Interstate Highway network, McDonald's, Walmart, Suburbia. So if you haven't already, prepare! Because people won't wake up to reality and understand that the world we live in is crazy, not normal.

You're retarded.
>a problem exists
>we do not currently have a great solution to that problem
>NO SOLUTION WILL EVER BE POSSIBLE PREPARE FOR INEVITABLE COLLAPSE
Stop trying to predict the future. You do not have the capacity.

Population is the main driver of growth. Demographers already show that we are reaching a stable point in our population, I think humanity will manage just fine.

isn't it important for our civilization at some point to be able to predict the future and stop problems from happening before they even happen?

Don't worry there won't be much energy consumption outside of Greater Israel in a hundred years.

Seriously, don't reproduce.

The Fed needs at least 2% growth to "control the economy". If deflation starts the shit runs away from them. Honestly.

basically this
when we start seeing these problems and if they are severe enough we will find a way to stop it, and we will stop it

I said at the end. I believe that people will not wake up to reality and understand that the case I made is a real problem. And that's why people should prepare for collapse. Seriously, give me one solution to the massive debt problem, give me a solution for the coming scarcity of capital. You just can't, and that's why we need to prepare for the collapse. Because nobody will ever wake up, and the people at the top who are perpetuating this crisis will never stop either, because they are the profiteers.

Here's the source, by the way. Should probably have added it in the thread.

Buy bitcoin yes, and lose them all when the internet will be too expensive to run.
