The entire Universe could very well be a zero sum game, although that
hasn't been tested out over the life of the universe.

But our money system isn't concerned with the entire universe. In
our subset of the universe, we create added value to such an extent
that we have more stuff.

There are scenarios where we have less stuff as well. The Universe
might not notice, but we would.
