Yeah! My instinct seeing a lot of these r/futurology articles has been that technology is advancing to the point where we are no longer adapting our environment to us anymore we are creating an environment that we must adapt to. That environment is overwhelmingly economic/systematic in a way that is unsustainable and linear rather than circular. Humans are becoming the most adaptable element of an increasingly inflexible world, so we will continue to be squeezed tighter and tighter between the gears of progress.
