if you reflect on the status of the human race almost everything has seen incredible growth in the last century or so .. be it population, pollution, war/conflict, scientific and technological growth .. one cannot but wonder if this growth is sustainable there must come a point where either the growth saturates or becomes unstable or starts to go in the negative direction.
pessimistically speaking, it does appear that we are headed for doom .. and theres not much we can do about it.
maybe we should introduce legislations to force people into exponential backoff, slow down every possible avenue for work, slack off to reduce prooductivity so that we can extend the lifetime of the civilization as we know it.

Uh, the French beat you on this one, I think :) they already went for official 35-hour work-weeks... (Though I don't if they still have 35 work-weeks...)
the assumption in that argument being that the growth will be driven by humans. the future, however, might not need us
