    Time to time it is very refreshing to learn about the past!

    Why did he not talk about the relationships of consumerism and firms making products that last only a short time so that firms make better profits ? - see series "The Men Who Made Us Spend"- episodes 1 - 3

    using this vid for a midterm assignment. Needing to cite, would really help if someone could put more info for referencing purposes in the bio block under the video posting. Thx :) (I'm using APA 7 but Im sure others that use Chicago or other would appreciate also!)

    I tend to think that this problem is an inherent trait of capitalism and won't be remedied until we can move past capitalism.
    I wonder though since these problems are becoming more widely acknowledged; do you think we're getting to a point where people are coming back around to true materialism, as in seeking out purely useful items? or are we still on the path of growth for growth's sake?

      +Nilbogish i do also think we need to move past those principles. im sick of more than 20% of edible food being thrown away while people in the same neighborhood suffer bc of hunger. its just inefficient.

      We need to move away from materialism period. Not seek a true form.

    I'd better watch Terence McKenna on consumerism...

    OVER PRODUCTION OF ANY COMODITY CREATES MORE GARBAGE. THE PROPER AMOUNT OF PROUCTION SAVES MONEY IN STORAGE.

    Interesting talk, but man, I bet this guy self-flagellates daily about his enormous sense of white guilt.

      You're obviously a racist :):) (and insecure about being Japanese? your issues precede you :)

      This is a ridiculous comment 😂
      He was stating FACTS, Karasawa21797. Not white guilt, social facts.
