Is there enough paper and/or writing materials on earth?
If there is not enough physical goods on this planet to graph infinite economic growth then how could we actually do it. Seriously, give me an answer. How long till the next bump against the physical limits of this ecosystem like 2008/2009. Einstein defined insanity as follows. "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Pretty much all things that we use to store information: books, paper, servers, hard disk, etc are not objects on their own but manufactured. The real question here is: "Are there enough trees, copper supplements, etc to use this material this way and have the result be sustainable?" and the answer is certainly no given the current rates of forest depletion and use of non-renewable resources.
