    I think if we can’t convince people to reduce their consumption which is a Sisyphean effort, The next best step would be to try to convince manufacturers and packaging companies to switch over to either mostly cardboard or metal. Metal is almost infinitely recyclable, and cardboard once it reaches the end of its recyclable life span can be used as fertilizer and as a product for other things.













  • I think it has less to do with the tech itself and more to do with the fact that people are becoming more insolation from non-bias confirmation due to the proliferation of social media in general. It used to be that you had to reconcile you’re own beliefs and actions against those you lived and worked with so that you could live productively. Now, you can get validation for anything after a few button presses. This makes people less tolerant overall, as well as giving them echo chambers to reinforce whatever they want.
