It's progress built on top of an assumption of never-ending, unsustainable growth. Unfortunately for everyone else much of the world has been dragged into the rat race along with us.

I'd argue that the expectation of perpetual population growth is one of the big problems (the unsustainability of social security bottlenecking at the baby boomers being an obvious example).

There is a compelling case for immigration for that sake alone.

Honestly, no. It's not.

Granted I already have a very fatalistic view on my future already so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Not without change, but I'd argue further change is certain, and likely to be of large magnitude.

I do not know if it will be sustainable, but I doubt it will be static.
