This is not just gdp or some fat guy getting rich, the fact is that industrialisation has raised millions out of food poverty and allowed us to support a population never before dreamed of.

Robbing billions of that to theoretical gain 2 more years (calculated in a strategic vacuum) is foolhardy in the extreme.

I don't think anyone quite grasps what potentially going backwards really means for humanity. Without industrialisation there will be significantly large portion of population being made unsustainable.
