Listen here you little shit. No one cares about objective improvements. It’s all in the subjective. The ability to define yourself through consumption.

Except for the ever accelerating mass exinction, and global semiotic emanciation. Capitalism is ecological dysentery. The sacred is gone and profanity is the new normal. but we should be happy even if they're aren't any healthy streams left to drink from, because we have bottled water and the poor people get to eat more maize and wheat before we all starve. So enjoy you're iPhone until the Life has been processed from the seas and the soils and we all burn. What a time to live, to die, in this meaningless hell on Earth our sins have created. Meaning is too rare for most people to find, and too painful to hold on to for those that have been blessed with it.
