Don Hertzfeldt-ish animation and well argued message
Typically, I don't care about anyone or anything. I want my God damned money and I don't care who I have to fuck or suck to get it.
But this animation and this group (thestoryofstuff.com) push one of the few "big ideas" I believe in. Global warming on the other hand...commie-hippie bullshit.

great little presentation there
I remember reading about planned obsolescence when I was younger (about 14). I was so disappointed with the world...and it makes me really hate that ad for the green mac. Apple are horrendous for planned/perceived obsolescence.

Haha. Yes, hippies seem to have a solid philosophical foundation
I had to look up Thulsa Doom by the way. Never saw the movie, I shall correct it soon.

Just a tad
preachy?
Good message, but many will be turned off by the lack of focus and finger wagging preachiness, together with the self appointed expertness and glib use of unsubstantiated facts.
I've clicked like as I do.

I agree.
I snapped on the TV while the 3rd act was on public access. The first 2 acts are preachy. At first, I went into MBA mode and waited for the Bill Maher style, ridiculously unverifiable slant, then I realized that her main argument is sound:
Linear systems are not sustainable when their inputs are finite.
Makes sense to me.
The real mess comes trying to agree how to fix it.
