    Imagine you are snagged up and moved to a town. They give you your uniform that you will have to rent from them. They have a store that they own where you rent what you need and receive rations. They move you into an apartment that is most probably communal that you rent from them. They give you a job and you do that job or they will shut your chip off and arrest you. You can't afford to have anything other than the clothes you have and you have electronics abound in your private quarters for the sake of protecting the company's assets and for 'your protection'. You can only have children if the company says you can and will be separated from the parents at birth (see china). You reach the age where you can't be as productive and you are put out to the pastures.

    Most industries that can recycle already do. Yes, we can make things that easier to recycle, but he fails to mention why plastics end up in the ocean; it’s because they aren’t easily recycled into a useful item. There is NO reason to own nothing other than to be controlled. This idea has been tried before and failed.

    Easy to say from someone who benefited from it. And now probably has a WFO office job that involves mostly Zoom meetings and spreed sheet work. If you work all day taping at a keyboard I can see why you would have this opinion. The real world is so far removed from reality. The world can start to feel digital. And that can start to seem hyper real. But the reality is that it's just a mass illusion that can only be temporal. But Ultimately that feedback loop will have to pay for itself.

    When we legitimized consumption and capitalism that produces solely to sell, how do you withdraw from this situation that requires parasitism? I wonder if we were forced to start over due to an EMP, would we end up differently? I suggest No. Civilizations, new or starting over, are at their best and brightest when emerging. We are then, as you suggest, merely 'using' the fields for crops instead of 'owning.' The problem with recycling is that it is extremely difficult to extract what is desired from the greater amount of waste. Its not that reusing hasn't been tried. My mom would lug the coke bottle back to the store to save on the bottle charge but it didn't stop aluminum can from taking over the market, less room, weight, storage. Nothing is new here except the audience is younger.

    The problem is people, mindset and understanding why we need to change and to rethink what it is we are here for. This has to be driven by education, Governments and the huge Corporates to change. OK, it starts with us as individuals, but the biggest shift will be with the big boys, as they are the biggest influencers. We are pumped full of egotistical adverts and greed, which has to change to be more understanding and working together.

    Yes, that is what a circular economy means. The State/Corporation will own everything and regular people will own nothing. You can't buy a washing Machine for 400 Dollars and use it as long as it holds up. You can however lease it for 5 years and 20 Dollars per month, meaning you will give the Corporation like 3 times as much Money, even more in the long Run. It's huge Business for the Corporations. And since you will have to sign terms of services for everything, Gouvernements and Corporations will have a ridiculous ammount of Control over our Lifes.

    You don't need to lease a phone, you just send it back to them for a refund when it's old. Getting some money for the parts it holds. Leasing cars makes sense because you can create a sort of taxi system of self driving cars then a car isn't sat in a car park for hours and so on. So creating a system of people not needing to own cars makes sense. Also you would have schools and business having different finishing times for some students over others, as in say they have a 20 minute break extra in the day to then length out the day a little so that everyone doesn't finish at the same time so that you don't need more cars, but cars take people home then come back. So you think about the structure of society to create less traffic jams, and less cars needed.

    this is also industrialisation, in a narrative that transitions from sufficiency, to drive militarisation for imperialism. this is colonialism humanitarian aid has generated psychosocial support, applied in the workplace and disadvantaged commnuties as an emerging sector. traditionalism is a antithesis that recovers the household as site of production; parents as carer educators, ecologies as living spaces with living food systems, and community gathering places as site of governance circular systems within the home can support household manufacture; mobilising a home based workforce through mid level civic infrastructure as cultural centres for local sharing economies within walkable communties; universal basic services, psychosocial support and community governance. repairable design can stimulate community level retrade os cross platform compatible components; securing local supply for household fabrication and assembly of appliances. this is individual identification as makers, not consumers identifying risk and associated economy cost, provides a fund through disincentivisation to incentivise successive innovation; facilitating infinite economic growth within the metric of ingenuity; novelty and newness. removing the limits of risk channels the drive of natural expectations; social connectedness, competence in sufficiency, and leadership opportunities.

    Don’t understand why he insists so much in the benefits of changing ownership structures, and „renting services“. OK, I lease the phone from a company. Give it back after two years. Get a new one. Company tries to recycle spare parts of old phone. So what? Today I buy the phone, throw it away after two years, and it gets recycled somewhere in Africa. Same outcome. IMO the problem is not ownership, the problem is consumer behaviour. And quality issues. Just 10-year mandatory warranty on any type of product would have an immediate impact on quality, price, value, lifetime, and total use of resources to satisfy the need of doing calls or having fun with your phone. I don’t see that effect in the leasing world.

    This. Planned obsolecence is so widespread that I'd argue companies are the first that have to change. Consumers would be happy if they didn't have to haul in and out of their houses appliances every two years. But manufacturers make things so that they don't last. Also, leasing isn't such a good idea because in many cases people tend to vandalize shared buildings and services.

    How is localised manufacturing a good thing if it is not economically viable? If you produce a phone in the UK and the same phone in Asia, it will be much cheaper to produce and ship it in bulk from Asia to the UK. Will this concept of localised manufacturing work in the free market? I am not sure if it is that straight forward of bringing manufacturing back to the so-called developed world? And what happens if the services are so cheap that people start using more of it, like replacing smartphones too often? Wouldnt this result in an increase in the demand for more new smartphones, which will, in turn, result in increased extraction of raw materials to produce those smartphones?

    Yeah, so circular economy means, that the State and Corporations will own everything and regular people will own nothing. And instead of buying things for a finite ammount of money and actually owning them, we will have to pay Corporations indefinately every month and have to sign terms of service agreements for every little thing. So we will pay the Corporations multiple times over, while they will provide us with run down, barely functioning Hardware ,while they can put the majority of ownership responsibilities on the consumers with their TOS. And of course they will have countless possibilities to force behaviours on us. It will open the gates forva new horrible age of authoritarianism
