Please explain to me how you think we should avoid it, and why ?

You are not done with your answer yet.
Where are we now? Overpopulated, with cluster****s and sprawl filling in between the clusters?
What does "growth" have to do with quality of life?
Would we not have technical advancements without growth? Why not?
Is there a positive direct connection between quality of life and growth? Why?
Look at a place like, say, California. Today, the nice temperate parts of it along the coast aren't much more than a support system for highways and streets. You can tell it was beautiful once upon a time. If you like cluster****s, it still is. I just think it would have been so much more awesome in that period before every square inch of it had human "development" on it- before my time, unfortunately.
I've got a "techie" brother-in-law that was so excited about an article he sent me about colonizing Mars. I was all, WTF? What is so great about the prospect of using the Earth up and then infesting another planet?
