It seems we still keep repeating the same "religious" mantra: "We have to return to growth, we have to stimulate, we have to increase demand..."

We think there is only one way of life: the constant quantitative growth way.

But it is not true. This path is totally unnatural, unnecessary, and in truth we do not even want it.

We have been running in a vacuum, in a self generated bubble, we are trapped in a Matrix.

The insatiable human ego created this illusion where the constant , infinite profit chase necessitates a cosmic "Ponzi scheme", where people are programmed, brainwashed to chase dreams, products, pleasures they never even thought about before, but a sophisticated media machinery and the subsequent social pressure pushes people into this consumer system.

This makes everybody unhappy and bankrupt, but now we are like a chronic drug addict or alcoholic who simply cannot stop even he dies.

Even in the life of a person there is the phase of exponential growth, development, but it slows down, and then comes the time of maturation where the quantitative growth, change is changed to qualitative change.

In our evolution we have exhausted the quantitative growth phase, humanity has evolved into a global, interconnected, interdependent network, and this human network is locked into a closed, finite, living natural system.

There is simply no more opportunity to expand, grow in a quantitative way.

If in the human body exponential growth continues beyond the age of maturity it is called cancer. And untreated cancer kills the whole body and itself with it.

Humanity in its present form is a cancer in the vast system of nature. And at the moment we are on our way to destroy the whole system and ourselves with it.
