The fallacy of finite resources and knowledge

The podcast challenges the concept of finite resources and the assumption of stagnant knowledge. It questions the idea that the Earth's resources are running out and suggests a more macro perspective, exploring the vastness of the universe and the potential resources it holds. The hosts argue that resources are not fixed but rather expand as our knowledge and capabilities grow. They highlight how various substances, from coal to uranium, were once considered worthless but have become valuable resources through advancements in knowledge and technology. This challenges the notion that resource conservation should be based solely on current knowledge, as knowledge itself is a limitless resource that allows for continuous innovation and discovery.
