It's using the idea of entropy as an analogy for the unsustainability of economic growth. I'm sure Matt is aware that earth isn't an isolated system.

@diagoras4401 totally agree. I think that the "isolated system" Matt sort of refers to is the energy and natural resources “consumption system” that directly relates with the economic and human species growth on earth. It's indeed unsustainable!
