      Many capitalist models depend on exponential limitless growth. That doesn’t exist in nature

      I mean, that doesn’t change much. There ain’t no other limitless growth in life, is there? The key difference between exponential logistic growth is that the latter has a limite.

          Do you know any useful biological models that are limitless and not exponential? You seem to think that “life is based on” them?

          Also the exponential discussion is a red-herring. You just picked out a detail that was misstated, and pretend to win.

          Now seriously, have you ever heard anyone claim life is based on unlimited growth (outside of this meme)?

              until the resources or something else intervenes

              Sounds like a limit to me. The entire point is that economic models often don’t take this kind of limits into account. Source: read a book

                You need to re-read the meme. You’re so close but you can’t see the forest for the trees.

                  The meme makes fun of a post that compares capitalism to cancer by saying “all life is about limitless growth, not just cancer”. This is wrong. Life “knows” its limits. Capitalism doesn’t, neither does cancer

                    So what limit does life know about time? Or will it continue for eternity?

                    Also might want to look up that latin phrase, I didn’t put it there because it sounded like a fancy spell, it’s a legitimate train of philosophical thought that you obviously have no comprehension of.

          Limitless as in time, not quantity.

          What does that even mean? Time is on the x-axis, what is on the y-axis if not quantity?

          Your entire premise is false because you’re illiterate.

          Sorry for reading the wrong books apparently…
