hyperconsumption is so weird

i always feel bad not being consistent. about making space for my pause and rest no matter how long it takes to contribute some sort of multi-layered analysis or observation. present a project for consumption, validation, and admiration. it's a natural human reaction to a modern engineered system.

nature works in seasons of transformation. growth periods, rest periods, deaths and rebirths. in a hundred moments.

you're not a robot you're not a vessel a floppy disk to receive constant downloads. you're a human person having a spiritual and physical experience. it is complex, contradictory, exhilarating and horrifying. c'est la fucking vie.

having said that venus just went on my 9H sun-merc so things are brewing

watched mina le's new video and she briefly mentioned "the great exhaustion" so i looked it up and its this prediction of people getting tired of overconsuming and the rapid production of (low quality) media and rich influencers and huge hauls and YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

especially with de-influencing and underconsumption becoming,, trendy? i feel like this makes so much sense. i myself have noticed myself feeling extremely distant from internet people and their massive consumption

i feel like we a quite literally reaching peak internet rn if that makes sense so im soo ready for slow consumption and a slow lifestyle

A 'Big Shift' from the 20th century, a time defined by hyper-consumption, to a 21st century age of Collaborative Consumption, is underway.

Collaborative Consumption describes the rapid explosion in traditional sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping redefined through technology and peer communities. collaborativeconsumption.com

It is the subject of a new book, What's Mine is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption, by Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers.

This is what we need

Top 10 Las Vegas Hotel Implosions

My professor showed us this in my pop culture class the other day. Yup, it's definitely shaping up to my favorite class so far.

We delved into a little about theories of hyperconsumption and cathedrals of consumption which suggest a quasi-religious or enchanted aspect of new consumption, this is particularly evident in Vegas where you see the constant deconstruction and rebuilding of hotels, usually to make them bigger and better. A form of "creative deconstruction" in one sense.
