If sustainable survival is your only goal, go live in a forest. People can survive without factories.
As for your ridiculous hot dog analogy, are you saying as it is now, everyone in the world has as many hotdogs as they want? If not, there is obviously value in making more.
Also, I don’t care how many times you say GDP is not a good metric because it is not fitting your narrative. It is a good upper bound on how much value is produced. You can’t wish it away just because it proves you wrong.

I’m saying it should be the goal of the economy instead of the current situation in which the only goal is everlasting, ever growing profit.
And I would go live in the woods if I could, but I can’t afford to do that.

I am saying that there is a finite amount of hotdogs that can be sold per unit of time. Therefore it is a zero sum game. Therefore acquisition of wealth means taking away wealth from others.

It doesn’t prove me wrong. You’ve seen the above graph. You know the wealth is allocated in the hands of the rich. The GDP is irrelevant.
I’ve explained it to you twice now, and if it is beyond your graph then that’s on you.

There is a finite amount of hotdogs that can be sold and we are selling FAR FEWER than that. So no, it is not a zero sum game.
And you claimed GDP is irrelevant twice without any argumentation. I provided detailed argumentation why wealth is far less relevant than income.
You’ve missed the point.
