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.

@Lacrimagirl I agree that working together commune-style would be preferable and more egalitarian than capitalism, but sadly I don't think it's "closer to humanities true nature". Unfortunately there's a large slice of humanity whose true nature is quite different. And the other sad truth (for the rest of us) is that the most ruthlessly competitive will nearly always gain control of "the system". Or so I believe.
