Our current economic systems require infinite growth in a finite system. In cellular biology, this is known as ‘cancer.’

I'd like to share a revelation I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to another area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure.

Nah. We have almost infinite energy to use from the Sun, and with enough energy other resources can easily be reused.

Add to that that the correlation between human wellbeing and energy usage is 1:1.
- Oh its finite. And not the only finite resource we need.
- The second law, as we now know, is quite clear to state
  That entropy must increase and not dissipate
  Creationists always try to use the second law
  To disprove evolution, but their theory has a flaw
  The second law is quite precise about where it applies
  Only in a closed system must the entropy count rise
  The earth's not a closed system, it's powered by the sun
  So fuck the damn creationists, Doomsday get my gun
  
  You down with Entropy?
  
  Creationists always try to use the second law To disprove evolution
  
  The fuck? How does that even work?
  
  What do you think you posted?
- I'm guessing that he's driving a customized Lada that has been converted to a convertible ... a lot easier for me and everyone else to hop in for a ride.
- Catabolic capitalism should be avoided.
