Let's look to heretics here.

The world is... only partially finite. The resources are not finite. Check studies for oil wells that have replenished in China over 100 year periods.

Finite space is a tacit of conventional wisdom. Cities like old and modern Rome would disagree.

Your view is centered particularly in the past.
