Reply to comment by kanated in Eli5: I don't understand why there seems to be a general consensus that gdp will continue a trend of growth, and why this would be beneficial, considering the cyclical nature of economies and empires rising and falling. Isn't economic downturn on some level unavoidable or even beneficial? by candymannequin
There’s a great website, called Do The Math. He goes into great detail on the continuous GDP growth idea. Unfortunately it’s very bad news, and renewables help but not by much as continuous GDP growth follows a compound interest rate like curve.

Reply to Spooky season is among us so I finally decided to read ‘misery’ by finnwittrockswhore
Misery is the book that stopped me from reading King for a very long time. No hope at all in the plot just one long stressful pile of pain. Read his book On Writing, he was becoming a full blown alcoholic in this era, starting with The Shining. I’m back to reading his books again as they aren’t all so loaded with such darkness since those days.
