When a child asks "what are humans good for besides destroying the planet?" the first layer of tragedy is the evident self-loathing; the second is that Desecrator status is a subclass of Consumer. "Take less" is the message ruling the day when "create more" is what's needed.

The biggest problem with shame culture isn't that it makes people feel bad, it's that it's anti-generative. We have got to stop issuing social currency to people who can cut a pie in fashionable proportions but couldn't bake another one to save their lives.
