At the root of all this is a philosophical problem that encompasses all we do: unsustainable growth. We're culturally obsessed with the concept of "more". More value. More money. More features. More, more, more. This is where it gets us: over the verge of ecological catastrophe. Unsustainable systems prone to breakage. Enshittification of everything. Planned obsolescence and yearly phone upgrades, natural resources be damned!

If we are to survive, we need to slow down and instead of making "more" make "better". Follow Unix philosophy. Embrace "good enough" and learn to stop.

Who am I kidding, we're doomed.
