And then once that runs out we will once more turn on each other with the same stoneage instincts and railguns.

Maybe that dreams of unchanged infinite growth are a madness in themselves , a madness necessary for now, as we fall apart without surplus. But it cant last forever, either we change or the fever dream burns itself out.
