We are the first people in history to live so surrounded by images that attempt to incite our desires, our appetites, our sense of a lack within ourselves; a lack which will be assuaged, an ache which will go away, if we can lay our hands only on that last, perfect, necessary, piece of stuff.
A system in which we all continually want more is not sustainable at our current levels of projected growth.

I mean that we will run out of the resources to live like this.
