Such a great conversation! I haven't thought about "consumerism" and with it my own personal consumption in this way, or at least with this much depth before - LOTS to unpack.
Really glad the 2 of you expanded on this noteworthy article about consumerism. I’m painfully aware of recurring bouts of demoralization due to my own recurrence of gorging on “this, that, ...or whatever.”While listening to your exchange, 2 auto-deterrents to excessive “candy”consumption came into my mind, in addition to what you shared, including the practice of fasting.
Create and serve. These 2 activities, when done with Austin’s clarification of “fine” motives (thanks for the enlightenment, btw!), turn the one who’s creating and/or serving outwardly, away from seeking to sate personal appetites. I know it has that immediate effect on myself, whenever I put either into practice. So likewise, please, keep creating and serving your listeners/readers with what you create!
