> That is simply not true, simple natural resources, ideas, innovations are making our economy non zero sum.

Thats exactly what I am talking about. Natural resources sre making the economy non zero sum game. This is the reduction I am talking about, its easy to think the natural resources are simply there to use and nobody owns them ( thus breaking out of the zero sum) but is this smart thing to believe? Where does it end? When everything that can be turned into money has been, what happens then?

"According to sustainability experts, we currently need 1.7 planets to support humanity's demand on Earth's ecosystems."[0]

How long do you think this fairy tale about natural resources being something there outside of our economics game will last.
