    ‘Wildly profitable’ would not be enough to them.

    ‘Extremely profitable’ would not be enough to them.

    ‘Insanely profitable’ would not be enough to them.

    Infinite growth is one hell of a drug.

      The only time infinite growth would be possible is if we became a space faring species and colonized other planets. That would allow us to continue population growth.

      Outside of that, infinite growth is impossible since there’s only so many people on this planet and even less who can afford their products.

      Capitalism and infinite growth is a microcosm of an organisms drive for infinite growth, which is usually curtailed by all sorts of biological and evolutionsry processes. Like space limitations and scarcity of resources, and I’m trying to figure out what is different between the individuals that form these mega corps and the average organism.

      I dunno. Is this a stupid train of thought?
