https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/04/the-link-between-population-growth-and-biodiversity-loss. Indeed we must - but that is a very taboo subject. Capitalism demands perpetual #growth in #consumption, which implies ever-increasing consumption of #resources & ever more #consumers & #workers, even in this age of #automation. It is thus the driver of increasing #population & of the needs of that population. #Wildlife & #biodiversity are marginalised for the sake of #food #production, but that suffers because of biodiversity #loss & #climatechange.

The moment answers,
and something grabs it.

Energy doesn’t close.
It gets stored.

What is consumed
must be consumed again.

"#TheWeb: Everything Is Shifting at Once

What makes this moment disorienting to some, but also exciting, is that multiple systems are changing simultaneously. It’s not just consumption models or discovery mechanisms or economics of the internet. It’s all of them, at the same time, and they’re interconnected.

The #consumption model used to be straightforward. A user goes to a surface, consumes content directly, and synthesizes the information themselves.

Now an AI intermediary does the #synthesis across dozens of surfaces and delivers the answer directly. The user can get what they need (achieve that conversion) without directly visiting the source anymore."
