Feel like I've been hearing this more and more over the last year; I tried to read a piece on it but I could only really halfway get to understanding... Anyone have any good resources to learn more about these in-depth? Or examples from the last year of those contradictions in action would be helpful too.
I always think about how capitalism requires perpetual exponential growth in order to maintain the status quo. For anyone who knows anything about exponential growth, this is a laughably impossible thing. You might as well be asking a hundred thousand angels to break dance on the head of a pin. Like unbounded exponential growth is what happens when a fissile mass of radioactive material goes hypercritical. You don't keep that growth up forever, and when it runs out you realize you have a gigantic BOOM on your hands.
