Because relentless bad news breeds cynicism, which is demoralizing and self-defeating. In this community there’s already plenty of that to go round. The full story is slightly more complex.

Completely agree. That one was a terrible take.
Growthism is a de-facto religion IMO. The obsession with this weirdly abstract indicator is obviously irrational.
In a liberal democracy, it hypothetically should allow for increased economic mobility, by making “new money” available to people to make their riches. As others have said, this is unsustainable in a finite system.
Another way to allow for economic mobility is to free up some of the “old money” back into the economy.
There are many ways to accomplish this.
