Sounds a lot like clothing is now “post scarcity”.
I’d have thought that was a positive thing but from the articles moral panicky tone, I guess it’s just another thing we need to feel guilty about.
- yourapostasy 5y ago> Sounds a lot like clothing is now “post scarcity”. Only a tiny step further along the path towards post scarcity. One of the parts of post scarcity that is rarely covered are the full ramifications of increasing mastery over matter and energy. Trash is a civilization's admission its technology and science haven't yet mastered how to use low embedded energy, the same way money implies poverty (h/t Iain M. Banks).
