      You just gotta internalize the externalities. Carbon tax would probably do it. Not that it’s simple to actually do, but still.

      It’s not just economic systems. There is nothing in existence that stays the same without growing, or dying.

      Capitalism even has the best mechanisms for addressing externalities. We just are not using them because they’re politically unpopular.
