Absolutely. Plus, the economic model of continuous growth is incredibly wasteful but we are addicted to it and have no tested, working alternatives. Thinking loudly about shrinking economy, population and wealth is the best way to push conservative polititians into power. (I'm talking ideology here, not a particular party in whatever your homecountry is). Building a sustainable economy based on earth's output will be a painful endeavour, I don't think current everyday politics is up for a change that massive. Maybe AI will give us the theory we need?
