The quote was "completely irrelevant". How is that not contrarianism?

Ah, consumerism. And what magical lever do we have to reduce that?
- kergonath 2y ago> The quote was "completely irrelevant". How is that not contrarianism? That was a slight hyperbole. It is not “completely irrelevant”, merely irrelevant. Contrarianism implies bad faith and knee-jerk reactions. They provided arguments, which you are free to debate or question. > Ah, consumerism. And what magical lever do we have to reduce that? Well, realistically? None. Not before it gets significantly worse anyway. It’s still more realistic than getting out of this hole by repairing stuff. The orders of magnitude are just not there. Again, repairing devices is a good thing. But it’s not a panacea and won’t solve that specific problem.
