It's all about human technology, which enables massive resource consumption.
I should really say humans never truly produce anything in the realm of technology industry.
- diggan 1y agoBut that's clearly not true for every technology. Photoshop, Blender and similar creative programs are "technology", and arguably they aren't as resource-intensive as the current generative AI hype, yet humans used those to create things I personally wouldn't consider "waste".
- howtofly 1y agoThe real issue is determining how much non-renewable resource consumption is justified for these "valuable" things? Note that we are always inclined to value ourselves too much. I agree the things you mentioned are valuable in the very common sense and I deliberately assign them no value to the avoid the above issue.
