Or maybe regressing living standards.
gollark: I do find the "finite resources exist so arbitrary growth isn't possible" argument quite bee for various reasons however.
gollark: Sure, I guess. It isn't very actionable either way.
gollark: Although they contain apioformically hard microchips.
gollark: On the plus side, 3D printing and such make it increasingly practical to manufacture stuff with less infrastructure.
