Infinite Growth, Limited Resources

My life is disconnected. I have no idea how the philosophy or morality of my way of life helps shape the world. I’m not so different from my society at large. Somehow, we have bought into the myth that we can consume and grow infinitely. Suggestions otherwise are met with vague notions that, eventually, technology will catch up; assertions that there is no problem, really. Well, there is a problem and its worse than unchecked consumption. It is our collective disconnection from the reality of circumstances and consequences. There is no, and can be no, technological solution for that: It can only be solved behaviorally.
