So attached to this post is a graph of SPX/USD for the last few decades
remember that in the time shown on this graph, the first human landings on the moon and many metallurgical innovations had already occurred.
SPX (in dollars !! tracks the value of stocks of the largest 500 US companies by market cap)
the economic growth that you are seeing comes from multiple places. In the US, the population of the middle class was still growing for much of the duration you can see. Also, the rise of the transistor and the personal computer occur, as well as the rise of the internet and the modern service-based economy.
All in all, one of the most interesting periods in human history. Please remember to savor every moment that you get to experience, it is an extremely unique and potent moment for any sentient species to experience times like the ones we are going through.

now, the picture attached shows several colors of wavy lines in the future of the SPX.

the negative case (in red) shows current monetary policy and government control failing, and even with money pumped in by the FED as a last resort, equity prices still fall.

the positive case (in green/gold) is the golden bull. maybe the fed and government and large corporations saying that everything is fine is enough to carry equity prices up. Or maybe the FED pumping money in again does it's job. either way, the indices advance upward.
The other possibility that takes us along this road is some technological breakthrough.
it seems as if the internet alone won't help sell any more product than it is selling right now.
but maybe a new superconducting material, neutron shield, super-neutron dense or super-proton dense material could really shake things up to the upside. Asteroid mining. genetic engineering. self driving, flying cars. Chinese weed companies in space. whatever you want to imagine, to fuel significant new buying
