I don’t see it that way. Growth is generally a good thing. The opposite of growth is decline. Why would anyone encourage that? If that is your highway to progress, good luck with that.

You think CANCER is good?? That is rapid growth.

NO, growth is NOT dependent on population growth. Economic growth, due to productivity gains is much more important. It is also lasting. It also does not destroy the communities.

Population growth is just another form of cancer.

I don’t get your cancer analogy. It makes little sense to me. Population fuels growth. You can’t go around this fact.

Hard to get sane discussions on living in a city or turn these days. Some people make just about everywhere sounds like hell on earth.

You are human centric. There is a responsibility for the planet.

As a right-wing libertarian I encourage you to read a Sand County Almanac about our responsibility to the planet. The left-wing Democrats and environmental movement is destroying the planet with their religion rather than following the scientific research.

Population growth is destroying the planet. Yes, the humans will probably survive it, but not the creatures we share this planet.
