In this episode, we started talking about the things that break sooner than they used to, how infinite growth requires planned obsolescence, the pursuit of the next best thing, and the role that influencers play in this system. We then pondered on the plans of “owning nothing and being happy” announced at the World Economic Forum and subscription-based economy in general. We talked about bees and what we may learn from them. Oh, and we laughed more than usual 🙂
