Their negative feedback consists of stating the obvious, with such gems as the economy makes things that go to waste, and the economy should make happiness, instead of products. They are stating blatantly obvious things. Yeah, everyone wishes things didn't go to waste. Everyone wishes they were happier. Say something new or stop being a hypocrite; pick one to be taken seriously.


"They" are not always stating that which is obvious to everyone. "They" are usually suggesting better ways and these ways are often enough based on engineering and science. What is put on the front page of media is, of course, the obvious, the nonsense, the sensational, the clickbait.

You don't have to say something new to a younger generation if that younger generation hasn't understood or even heard the old, the obvious, yet.

Youngsters might have heard some of it but their brains are often high enough on punched drugs (food and drink and media) that fuck with their brains to make them think 'I don't care', 'People don't care', 'nobody cares' ... and then there are the 'media-sigmas and cool kids' who sing that shit in choirs and canons.

A lot of things go to waste and yet there is tons of useful stuff coming out of recycling and up-cycling and that's just two methods with a very small "margin" and undeveloped.

There are those design and architecture blogs and firms and there is cool shit all the time and wonderful projects everywhere but the pointlessness of the over-engineered financial reasoning behind yearly sursurpluspluses is stacked against that.

You don't catch and bring a culprit to justice if you drop the investigation, which might have to circle long enough for some other brain or pair of eyes to find the final puzzle piece.

And not everyone wishes they were happier.

There's enough to criticize about anarchist, leftist critiques and groups and collectives as well, though, just as much exploitation of youth, gullibility and pain and crisis, and problems, really, but not systemically.

And there's that fallacy, something ad hominem, I think, so we should focus on what is said and written and, if obvious but unsolved, get to the bottom of it instead of saying "I don't care", "nobody cares", "human nature in the 21st post marketing psychology and decades of punched food, drink, drugs, meds and media century"


And this investigation consists mostly of just repeating the same thing over and over again? Acting like work or having to put it real effort to survive is some new invention is stupid and incorrect. To live fairly, you must work. To pretend otherwise is foolish. Once again, say something new or give a new way to solve this "problem". This anti-work bs is stupid and has been stupid for all of time, in all of the many forms it has taken.
