I think your problem is treating the success of the Kardashians as deterministic

What?? I don't mean "formal, timed bathroom breaks". I don't even think that exists in the real world. I mean they don't have enough leeway in their incentive system, to the point where workers have to pee in bottles out of fear of missing quotas and losing their job

What? I don't mean scheduled bathroom breaks, I mean they aren't given enough leeway during the day to even use the bathroom. There are many reports of them peeing in bottles and shitting in plastic bags.

The big ideological thing that both these comments miss is the they don't question the presupposition that we need to be 'natural'

While corporations are somehow considered people, they can't be expected to be good.

Seeing how wages adjusted for inflation have stagnated while productivity has nearly doubled in the past 40 years and the impending climate catastrophies, I don't see how we're at a high point.

Why not just turn off your router? Lightbulbs and refrigerators are surprisingly useful

That is a very illogical line of reasoning.
