Has anyone else seriously thought about how stupid a concept the economy is?

We have to buy and discard buy and discard buy and discard perpetually.
If we don't do that all of human society implodes.
It's pretty much that simple.

This is the result of holding onto the same tool for too long. Like trying to work with wood but only using a saw. The saw is great for refining the sizes of the wood, but when it comes time for joinery you need something different.

Capitalism provided a big boost in early productivity and innovation. But we've reached the end of its useful state. We need to examine other tools and put down the saw. We've reached the point in capitalism where solving problems permanently is not profitable, so we need to engineer for temporary solutions.
