No. I'm saying that if the population is set to fall, we can crank resource spend per person all the way up, and enable growth that way. With a little side benefit of QoL improvements.
Which requires a massive jump in labor productivity, mind. But if the optimistic takes on AI are right, such a thing is not impossible.
We are already cranking the per person spend way up, that's why we have a trillionaire. How we do it matters and the matters that be won't allow anything other than Neo-feudalism
Or were you not responding to the argument that avoiding pollution is typical degrowth talk?
