And no, the hypothetical of the robot skyscrapers is not "meaningless."

It's not meaningless in itself. Its meaningless to the conversation. It's literally a hypothetical you invented for no reason. You're just rambling.

Are you actually trying to claim that if the population was much smaller than it is today total resource use across the globe would be the same?

Because if not my point stands.

A lot of people think rockets can be very profitable. Its just a long term bet and you lack imagination. I would need to check but I'm pretty certain spacex is profitable.

Those other companies are still in R and D.
