It could be argued that the 2025 project will turbo-charge (on steroids) the dominant consumerist paradigm. One of the meanings of the word consume is to destroy.

Do you know that Kevin Roberts the number one honcho of this project is an opus dei hack. And that J D Vance is also closely associated with opus dei too - he wrote the foreword to Kevin's book.

That having been said check out this long 2019 essay describing the political machinations of opus dei.

I was trained in Industrial Design. The emphasis was on the design of plastics, objects of wood and metal were seldom focused on. I never questioned this bias until I realized this simple fact much later. I was intended to design disposable things, hairdryers and blenders and such. I found out later that I really do not like such things much, as they create a disposable society.
