It turns out to do that, you need a global economy by 2100 that's 8.5 times bigger.
It sounds really huge.
It sounds crazy.
But if you look back, all it means is that global economic growth has to be 2.6% per year.
That's the power of compounding.
And so it has to be maybe 30 basis points faster than it was in the last 50 years, maybe 30.
So in a way, the miracle of the future is about the machine of progress that we have now just keeping on trucking.
And that steady progress, that few percent a year that we bank, I think Einstein said the most powerful force in all of physics is compound interest or something like that.
That power of a few percent per year is what can continue to catapult.
And of course,
Then we go, wow, a world eight and a half times bigger.
Are you kidding?
Like everyone's saying, like, we don't have enough materials.
What about energy?
What about food?
What about climate?
And so we just went through and systematically proved that it's entirely possible.
