"Summary": "<p>@dan_steinhart @RationalOptSoc @PeterDiamandis @JohnFMauldin Excerpt from Rewriting the Rules: The Future of Apparel</p><p>Don't consume less, just redirect consumption to sustainable processes that also drive economic economic stability and national security. Here's how. </p><p>Approximately 36% of Gen Z purchase new fast-fashion clothing at least once a month. Additionally, a study found that 62% of Gen Z shop at fast fashion retailers monthly. (Source). This won’t slow down and trying to get consumers to buy less is not working.</p><p>Our culture has been trained on habits of hyper-consumption, which fuels a compulsive, dopamine-chasing addiction to buy more, creating a cycle of instant gratification that leads to disposability and environmental concerns.</p><p><br /></p><p>You don’t change habits, especially those reinforced by dopamine. You either refocus existing consumer habits or piggyback off of them to introduce new habits.</p><p><br /></p><p>The good part of our hyper-consumption is that it drives the economy, which we will need in the future as the world struggles for GDP. The U.S. drives 30% of aggregate worldwide consumer spending, with China at 11% (and falling) and Germany at 4% (and falling), then every other country below that. We have a very robust consumer-driven economy that will continue, a pivotal economic strength for the U.S.</p><p><br /></p><p>What if we can refocus this hyper-consumption to localized, automated, 3D-enabled, on-demand-driven, circularity-activated production, achieving close to real zero, and let consumers buy all they want?</p><p><br /></p><p>They get to keep spending, driving the U.S. economy, which supports national security, and it's all sustainable. AI will likely reduce friction to more consumption, but it if it can be localized with circularity built in, it becomes sustainable with a limited carbon footprint</p><p><br /></p><p>Buckmister Fuller said:</p><p>“You never change things by fighting against the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.”</p><p><br /></p><p>https://eddiesoehnel.com/FutureOfApparel</p>",
