You'll have to duck out quick before the posse arrives. HN abhors any references to exponential growth being unsustainable.

But I was told that the singularity was coming, whereupon I could upload my consciousness to the cloud and experience an eternal orgasm of exponentially increasing bliss, thereby nullifying all laws of physical constraints. Did that get cancelled?
