Point 1 is why growth/debt is not a good economic model in the long run. We should have a care & maintenance focused economy and center our macro scale efforts on the overall good of the human race, not perceived wealth of the few.

If we focused on upkeep of older vehicles, re-use of older computers, etc. our landfills would be smaller proportional to 'growth'.

I'm sure there's some game theory construction of the above that shows that it's objectively an inferior strategy to be a conservationist though.

I sometimes wonder how the game theorist would argue with physics.
