We’re addicted to living like we have 20 planets
@MrMatthewTodd I could get behind prohibiting balloons 🎈 Taxing them out of existence…
@MrMatthewTodd There are limitless planets. We need to leave this one, not make it comfortable.
The the gluttony and excess waste of resources is a feature and not a bug. It determines ones status in a society based on material possessions and useless numbers in centralized and global databases. The more waste you can generate the more worthy you are of being in the upper echelons of the control hierarchy. Basically, everything is inverted, confused, and the opposite of what it should really be because people have learned to conform themselves to a society which teaches its members to care about superficial attributes and metrics of success. It's only going to keep getting worse.
@MrMatthewTodd Makes me feel equally sad and sick. Sigh.
@MrMatthewTodd Looks a bit like the ending of Prometheus.
