4. I can't believe as much of our "economy" is this fluff as seems increasingly clearer

This is what makes the Cornucopian and brainless narrative of infinite growth plus human colonization of every last remaining patch of earth so misguided imo.

You have an exploding population that increasingly works in more bullshit jobs that make you feel mentally off-balance, have a few kids and fuel the same machine with consumption. There is no point to such an enterprise and to have it tacitly be assumed that we all back some version of this dreary view is a problem even this insane administration aside.

Economics as a field has been very lopsided and largely discounted the planet as relevant to anything but as a backdrop to this busy hum of bullshit colonization that is glorified.
