I feel like I agree. And the dumb thing is that all our work does is make it more efficient for everyone to go about wrecking up our planet.

I mean, we think of PCs, internet, tech, as the start of a new revolution of efficiency, which sounds like a good thing. But this just makes consumerism so much easier: products are there when you want them to be, you can make hundreds of impulse purchases a day without leaving your home, etc., which is the demand source of all these problems.
