WHY HAVE WE NORMALIZED OVERCONSUMPTION?
<p><br/></p><p>Why have we normalized overconsumption?</p><p>I thought to myself as I sat, legs crossed on a couch while listening to OP said podcast</p><p>I really really enjoyed listening to these type of podcasts </p><p>They were about real life reddit stories and the women on this podcast always discussed these stories in a very exciting way.</p><p>Then when it was time to wash plates, I switched to "Unstoppable by Sia"</p><p>On that same Spotify.</p><p>Then when I was done, I immediately turned off the music and started reading a substack because I was about to eat.</p><p>Halfway through my meal, I switched to Netflix and started streaming "His and Hers".</p><p>After my meal, I scrolled through Twitter for about half an hour before I slept off.</p><p><br/></p><p>When I woke up, I started watching Love Island on movie box. </p><p>It was a pattern</p><p>I could never really just sit alone and allow my thoughts to consume me.</p><p>I could never just stay in a place for ten minutes without listening to music or a podcast or consuming content put up by another person.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all these things are not good or are unhealthy.</p><p>But like an ex-friend said, I don't owe anybody any explanation because afterall, this is my opinion and view on this.</p><p>Why have we normalized overconsumption?</p><p><br/></p><p>I ask again.</p><p>Innovation is slowly going into extinction because all we do is gobble up other people's content and recycle them then we say those are our beliefs. </p><p><br/></p><p>This is who I am.</p><p>No, that's not who you are.</p><p><br/></p><p>You're literally a million fragments of other people's ideas and beliefs.</p><p><br/></p><p>Just the way I don't believe all these stuff I just wrote.</p><p>I simply got the idea from someone on Twitter.</p><p><br/></p><p>Here we go. </p><p>(Back to OP said Podcast).</p>
