The biosphere is really big.
But finite.

It’s a multi-billion year inheritance – https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/113266291886504412 – that’s 10,000 times longer in the making than Homo Sapiens has been around. And about 40,000,000 times longer than each of us, give or take.

Turns out that 1 billion or so people swindled into squandering it can spend enough of it in about 300 years that it could take longer than our species has ever existed to build it back up again.
