For me, what see is a symptom of an underlying condition, the 'empty self'. We seem to have come into the 21st century with individualisation but also with losing 'community, tradition, and shared meaning', we stored this loss 'interiorly' in our psyche.

To compensate for losing this and to fill the 'empty self' we consume and hoard.
In some ways the good news is that this 'empty self' applies to all stratas of society (i.e. the rich are as empty as everyone else).
It has though been marketed and sold to and if it continues to stay unconscious, it will have, and is already having disastrous affects.
There are lots we can do and I've written about some on my substack.
Thank you for posting about this. Well described.
