Binging Hell of Presidents, Matt (the largest of the chapos, who should be able to eat the smaller ones) said something that resonated with me- the idea that our connection with class is so disassociated and immaterial that the only way we can express ourselves is through consumption.

I realised he was 100% right, but sadly realised I couldn't figure out alternatives. Is there any answer apart from getting off our damn iphone? (it's community connection right? But we still have to consume food and culture to do so...- or am I taking it too literally?)

    You're basically asking how to get the people from WALL-E to stand up out of their chairs and start walking around and interacting with each other. And the sad fact is they probably won't until their ship crashes. You can help by holding a mirror up to them and showing them their own pathetic selfishness, but most people will just smash the mirror.
