We all live today like heads of state did in the 1970s. Poor people in the 70s lived like Presidents from the 1910s. Peasants in the 1910s lived like King's from the 1700s. Everything has gotten better for everyone all the way up and down the chain because of persistent growth.

There isnt enough land space and energy for 8 billion people today to live in 20 years like Bill Gates does now. It is not possible. So that whole economic model we've relied on for 10,000 years is nearly up. But people will not simply accept stagnation. The public only lets guys get that rich if theyre growing too. But not everyone can keep growing.

Also we've only outsourced to other countries for decades because the labor was cheap, and it was only cheap because those people came to cities from impoverished rural backgrounds. People now are used to it, and wont be content to work for pennies forever, just like american immigrants in 1910 werent content to work in factories for 40 cents a day by 1960.

Our whole lives, our parents lives, our grandparents lives were lived in an unsustainable bubble of rampant growth and decadence. It will come to an end in our life times. It is a completely unique and unprecedented point in human history, that few people are willing to acknowledge or appreciate because it scares the living shit out of them. The people at the top who are intelligent and have been modeling these things for years understand what's coming and are doing their best to control it. But not everyone globally is going to make it and there are going to be some TOUGH, TOUGH decisions that are 100% inevitable. And it's not a simple "one time fix and then back to normal" situation. Everything you know about life, careers, relationships, and basic human society that is based on all history heretofore is about to change PERMANENTLY. This is a fact.

Ignorance and conformity are no longer the survival strategy theyve been for centuries now. People stuck in that mold (which is most) are in for a wildly rude awakening over the next decade.

Well said.
