I've come around to degrowth over the past two years since the pandemic. That and other similar brands, circular economy, donut economy, and others. For me it's obvious at the macroscopic scale that we can't continue measuring progress in material gains for the reasons others point out. But the challenge is that, imho, the growth focus derives from how we measure our individual social status. This leads a few to want a little more to be better than others. And this drives up competition which causes us to need to use more resources. I don't know how to fix this. It seems to be rooted so deeply in our culture that it'll take generations to unravel it.
