I don't know what has gotten into you lately, but your posts have been amazing. You're addressing a lot of issues in our culture while pointing out how blockchain technology is giving us an opportunity to do better, to redeem ourselves.

Overall, advanced societies tend to be gluttonous.

This is our major problem. When people don't see the cost of what went into making a product, they don't care about it, so they use it up, throw it away, and get a new one. To people who have been raised in this type of culture, it's easy to follow in the footsteps of those who came before us.

I think if people saw what wen't into a product, they'd be more appreciative of what it is. If they saw what happened after the product was thrown away they might be too. This world is not here to be abused, and everyone plays a part. Even if the bad stuff is out of sight, we are still complicit in our purchase and abuse of the resources.

One thing that would be kind of cool imo is using the blockchain to show you what went into making a product. Similar to the tracking coins that are coming out, but you could just scan a product and see how we got the materials, what the warehouse conditions are like, etc, etc. We could test it out in Portland.
