Too true. If we are brutally honest (Indi!), we are ourselves now products with similar profit driven restrictions of lifespan put on us. Whatever happened to immortality research?

I still say we will start building for eternity, everything for eternity, when we go fully solar powered.

With scarcity enforcement gone, we won't lament the loss of plastics, we'll be using formerly extravagent things we would never have dreamed of using before, to build things that last forever, and we'll want to live forever, to enjoy them as long as possible.
