Aforementioned: aphorisms and questions for 2015
Growing in the growth economy: population, wealth disparity, poverty, garbage, the bit stream, CO2, hunger. 
Politicians, economists, almost everyone seem addicted to the idea of growth. The pursuit of a growth economy doesn't appear to be doing us much good. In fact, the consequences of the pursuit of growth are so catastrophic that maybe we should be pursing alternatives as a priority.
The last picture represents the unconsidered growth of what may be best described as magic. Here it is typified by the exponential growth of the digital bit stream, whose corollary is the shrinkage of real opportunity for the rapidly growing population.
