Consume, Commodify or Counter

# “When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything ―Chuck Palahniuk

Broadly a chat on Market Economy, Ethics & Counter-Culture.

Ask whether the things you own ever end up owning you.

This discussion examines the culture of mass consumption—how status has us chasing cars and clothes. How commodities sold by advertising shapes our desires, identities, and daily lives.
We explore philosophical, social, and economic critiques of consumerism, from minimalism and degrowth to ethical production and planned obsolescence.
