> This assumes that the GDP growth and the material prosperity are in a simple linear relation. I don't think this makes sense.

Yeah, I felt that this was the weakest point of the argument presented.

I do like calling out the absurdity of "wealth" in various assets though, as well as the notion that we need to map this "wealth" back ultimately to energy (which makes sense, as we need energy for basically everything).
