Growth doesn't intrinsically have to have anything to do with population or resources. Growth is fundamentally about ingenuity.
If you develop a microchip that delivers the same performance but takes 50% less material and energy and cost to manufacture and use, that's growth. 2x growth in that area, to be precise.
As long as we keep thinking of cleverer ways to do things, we keep growing economically. So it's really whether you think human ingenuity will come to a dead end?
