Why is economic growth considered a good thing? Why is it considered a good thing that trees are being chopped down just so McDonald's and Starbucks can have an extra 1000 locations? What does this have to do with scientific innovation?

OP here. I'm not a communist by any means. I just don't understand the "economic growth" meme. What is it really about?

Socialism is a disease of the mind. It's best if you isolate yourself and don't infect anybody with it.

It's not sustainable. The economy can't keep growing forever and it's really only a good indicator for new/developing countries.

Economic growth is good. Chopping down trees is bad. These are unrelated concepts.
