From the first Cavemen who discovered how to make fire by burning wood, to the industrial revolution burning coal to power steam-engines.
The only option to get away from that is turning back to "animal level", or finding a magical way to generate utopic levels of energy like in Sci-Fi.
In the meantime, I enjoy my KFC while doing online-shopping. Because, there is nothing much else to do. Being aware of that, doesn't help either.
There is what we "need." food/water
There is "entertainment." mintendooSwich
When technology crossed the threshold on "needs." Everything which comes after is "entertainment."
You may see it as shopping, or steamdeck, or AI, or KFC, and you MAY FEEL COMPELLED to possess such things, but they are not biological necessities.
So, how far humanity goes to destroy itself over things that it fundamentally DOES NOT NEED, that's a choice everyone makes.
By definition, you can not have ENOUGH of something you Don't-Need.
and that is why Consumerism is a Run-Away-Train.
It kills all the trees, kills all the whales, kills the Coral Reefs, kills the mangroves, Kills the rainforest.
If you follow mankind's progpogation out of Africa, humans have turned everywhere they went into Lifeless Deserts.
EGYPT had endless fields of forest, grain and water, all gone, so did the the middle east, past tajikistan, now Xinjiang, DESERTS.
The Americas, where Redwoods scratched the heavens, Fast becoming deserts as well. Brazil, rapidly destroy the rainforest to play soybeans and grass to feed Cows. We feed 21-25 calories to pull 1 calorie out of a "cow" as meat/milk.
So you see, the choices one makes everyday matters, and when you're stuck in loop of consumerist culture, welp, hope the kids are ready for the Fury Road, That is our legacy.
You are not leaving your kids, your apartment, you rags, your stuff, you're leaving them a lifelong struggle along Death valley.
