      Evolution doesn’t demand anything, it’s literally about adaptation. The expectation of infinite growth inside an obviously finite system is the death cult.

      Most living things stop growing at a point or do so much slower. There are systems which do not, like cancer for example. However killing the system you feed off is a bad strategy, if you only have a single one.
