I don't think we should be setting artificial limiters on energy usage or anything but you're using circular reasoning as justification.

These scales use energy usage as the measure of progress which you are saying is proof that reducing energy use is reducing progress.

Unless we hit a natural limit on how much energy we can access, any limit set will be artificial.

I'd love for individuals to set their own limit, ideally one that pushes them a bit to step out of the endless chase for comfort and convenience that we're all stuck in. I definitely don't want a centrally planned and enforced limit though, that's never going to achieve the goals people would actually want.
