People who want to theorize post-consumerism fail because they fail to identify a strong positive-valence, positive-feedback alternative to "convenience" as a driving attribute of material life. Behavioral attribute, not value/virtue. "Clean" or "environment friendly" ain't it.

Yeah and even stuff like dollar shave club is an automation of a part of consumption in a way. But this stuff doesn’t feel like it can really flip the dial. Handing over control to someone you trust to buy for you is the future and is a big leap from pantry boxes / subscriptions

This has historically been a "wife" :D Still true in my life... I let my wife handle 99% of all consumption decision-making because she cares more, is better at it, and is energized rather than stressed out by it :D (because she's fundamentally higher tempo/higher energy person)
