resources are finite, but human ingenuity is infinite.Quote from morganist:
Resources are not infinite. Even on Mars.
Quote from blackjack007:
resources are finite, but human ingenuity is infinite.
as resources get consumed, humans innovate to find more efficient ways to use them and to find replacements that are more abundant.
an example is oil. as oil gets consumed, its price goes up, and as a result humans seek alternatives like solar, geothermal, etc. Thus, oil being a finite resource won't stop human expansion.
price discovery prevents any resource from being totally consumed
