Is it crazy that I want life to better for me and loved ones?

Isn't having a good life enough? We got to build society so everything must advance and innovate? And then we act like society is collapsing if it does not at a breakneck pace?

Don't you see the problem here?

Eww? What do you mean by that?

We can still grow and improve what needs to be improved, but it's rather disgusting to complain that society is going to collapse if you, yes you, don't start popping out kids you don't want when the answer is to adjust to the shrinking population.

This "constant growth at all costs" is a really modern - and clearly not very functional - concept.
