Hi @galenkp. I found it very curious that your reflection originates from an experience in a store with useful things. We are surrounded by useless or unnecessary things. I am fascinated by fashion, the ability it has to make obsolete the pants I bought last year and how it invites me to buy another one I don't need, just because the color is different or there is a small change in the design.
The way the human species is going is absolutely irrational. And I have the feeling that few people care.
