Consumption is contact taken instead of finished.

The moment answers,
and something grabs it.

Energy doesn’t close.
It gets stored.

What is consumed
must be consumed again.

"#TheWeb: Everything Is Shifting at Once

What makes this moment disorienting to some, but also exciting, is that multiple systems are changing simultaneously. It’s not just consumption models or discovery mechanisms or economics of the internet. It’s all of them, at the same time, and they’re interconnected.

The #consumption model used to be straightforward. A user goes to a surface, consumes content directly, and synthesizes the information themselves.

Now an AI intermediary does the #synthesis across dozens of surfaces and delivers the answer directly. The user can get what they need (achieve that conversion) without directly visiting the source anymore."

FTA: "To put this crudely, we consume far beyond our means because our military keeps enough of us feeling secure, and we have such a large military because we consume far beyond our means."

#AmericanEmpire #BadEconomy #consumption #ThisIsAmerica

So, while #earnings growth and the market are very much on track for another strong year, their results aren’t likely to support the #labor market or the median #consumer. The middle 60% of Americans still make up the majority of #consumption, which is still the majority of the economy.

Crime against wildlife is surging in Australia
Flogging off native animals and plants

" Around the world, wildlife and environmental crime is surging. It is estimated to be the fourth largest organised transnational crime sector, and to be growing at a rate two to three times faster than the global economy."

"This is a considerable problem, because Australia has unique and endemic wildlife species, high extinction rates, and is a country that is difficult to police due to its sheer size and vast remote areas. Our new, Australia-first study addresses this knowledge gap."

"We don’t understand the full extent and impact of these crimes in Australia, but we do know they can be disastrous. Wildlife trafficking and illegal trade erodes biodiversity through the removal of native species from their habitats. It also fuels the spread of invasive species, parasites and diseases."

"Over half of the environmental crimes (61.3%) occurred in outer regional and remote areas of Australia. "

"Convenience triumphs over conviction when the pain of acting on our convictions is too great. Our convictions triumph over convenience when the pain of acting on them is below a certain threshold."

My framework for thinking about some of the choices I make.
