And all of that doesn&#x27;t even begin to address the resource limits of our planet. We can keep artificially sustaining the system by making more throwaway products for ad-driven consumption; we can keep people employed by inventing more bullshit jobs, introducing more managers of managers of managers into advertising industry, etc. - but at that rate, we&#x27;ll soon hit the energy limit and the entire system will collapse back into middle ages. Or we&#x27;ll all starve and die as the planet says &quot;fuck it, I had enough&quot; and shuts down the ecosystem for a while.
