    This isn’t actually a measure of resource usage in reference to a closed system tho.

      I don’t know mate, you sound like you’re being deliberately obtuse here.

        I’m not, it’s literally not a metric relevant to the Earth as a closed system, it’s a measure of carbon capture and production.

          My peep, you realize that cancer is not inside a closed system by the same definition, yes? Likewise you don’t die from cancer because you" run out of resources"

            Not sure what this has to do with me pointing out your reference for earth effectively being a closed system is wrongly applied.

            But also I agree, your memes analogy between capitalism and cancer doesn’t actually make sense. It’s just punchy but nonsensical.
