His take actually helps me understand why libs keep screeching for decoupling with China as if it wouldn’t crash the entire world economy. They don’t think that things are made out of raw materials and labor.
Beyond this dork, this is genuinely what modern economists claim to continue defending endless growth in the face of climate change: that growth itself will decouple from its environmental effects / from actual resources extraction and exploitation (and all that means for local ecosystems). As far as I can tell it is treated as absolute truth - almost as if it’s common sense - by these freaks.
