Is life on Earth self sustaining? Suppose the sun never burnt out, no extinction events occurred, and no animals with the intelligence and power to change the environment on a disproportionate scale evolve: Would the process of life and evolution on the planet continue indefinitely or would the material on the surface of the Earth eventually be rendered unusable by life through its own processes?

Don't think so, the resource chain is a loop. I'd imagine only if you were a lifeform that depended on something very specific that's not made by anything else you'd be unconditionally extinct. But since most lifeforms aren't depended on Plutonium they'd be safe.
There was that one time were oxygen was overproduced, so I guess that if waste production got out of hand and no one could recycle it it could lead to a planet-wide extinction. But likely some extremophile would evolve to survive in high concentrations of it anyways. Not sure how such waste would be generated in the first place though.
Also, it is probably excluded from your scenario but I think that on an infinite timescale the atmosphere and the water would be eventually blown away. Not sure if our magnetic field is enough to stop an eternity.

If no inevitable extintion event happens, like those that you describe, then humanity can go on forever on this planet given that there is no autoritharian government to stop the actions of the individuals.

Right now there are a lot of non-scarce goods(like air and sea water), that are the most sensitive in the really long term (many generations down the line so the actual generation, no matter how low is it's time preference, cannot plan ahead). So, even if something happens to the air, water and every non-scarce good, they will become scarce goods (like everything that you buy in the supermarket), thus they start to be affected by the laws of the free market (this is, the voluntary relationships made by people on how to deal with scarce goods).

If the market is unhampered, it assures that the good never runs out, never. If there are no substitutes to a good (like oxigen), and it is scarce, then those who sell it will raise the price, and those who buy it will be willing to pay for it (right now, as air is a non-scarce good, nobody would pay a "monthly fee" for breathing, it is just retarded). High prices on scarce goods ensure a high margin of profit. In the free market, retardedly high margins of profit lure enterpreneurs into entering the market as suppliers of the good, thus incresing the supply of the good and therefore reducing the prices of such good.

For example, if air becomes scarce, this will make it profitable to just "create" air, by some future tech chemistry, and then sell it like business sell clean water in bottles now, and pure oxigen. Also, if there is no autoritharian government to stop individuals from taking action, there is no chance that a company like this would be a monopoly and charge ridiculous high prices for long, as, again, the high prices would lure other companies to enter the market and compete for the money of the consumers.

Bro, it's really not that much to read. I mean, is your attention span really that small and your IQ so low that you can't even concentrate for a a minute to skim a few hundred words? But instead you just straight-up sperg out my man. Have you ever been tested for autism or anything, for real? Because that is some genuine, bonafide low-emotional intelligence shit right there. Seriously, have you ever exercised a little compassion or empathy in your life and thought about the lone soul at the end of the keyboard, his circumstances... and what have you. Is he even a he? 'Cause he could well be a she, you know? Maybe he's a bit of both, and you're just a little prejudiced. So maybe SHE is sat there, alone, reaching out across the line like some renegade trying to COMMUNICATE with another human being -- just to share in, a little bit, on the life of another -- only to be shown-up and shot-down by the like of you, a loser faggot beta basedboi. What if she has huge boobs? I mean some serious honkers, a real set of badonkers? What if she had a big pair of dirty pillows and a coochie wide enough to sleep in? A couple of tig ol' bitties? What if you could just real talk roll up in between her meaty gammons and call yourself a pork sausage? And hey big old monkey bumps were big enough to hang from? I wonder if wobbly floppers like that would even change your queer ASS for the straight GRIND mind, little faggot. Or, you know fucking what, she could well be a HE and have grown breasts as a SIDE EFFECT to some necessary and important drugs for his fucking BOWEL PROBLEMS. What if he straight up fucking sues the drug company? Did it even cross your starved-for-oxygen, stuck-on-ventilator mind that he might actually fucking SUE the the drug company? You know what, I hope he does, and then I hope he fucking sues you too, piece of shit spergy betaboy. Go gobble gobble of mummy's dick, you little cunt.
