Yeah it can change quickly. Personally, I think we would have a better world if the things we produced and consumed had real-world value to the advancement of humanity. So much of the entire supply chain is essentially busy-work, activities that aren't necessary and are often contradictory to a better life. Everything from the mining industry, to manufacturing and the accounting and digital aspects - it is all pretty much useless activity to keep us occupied.

You’re describing the difference between productive work and performative work. Most of modern economy is the latter - activity that looks like progress but produces nothing meaningful.
The irony is that crypto was supposed to be an escape from this - decentralized, meaningful, value-driven. Instead, it became another layer of the same game. We’re mining imaginary tokens to trade for imaginary gains while calling it “advancement.”
Maybe the real advancement is recognizing the system for what it is and choosing not to play - or at least not betting everything on it.
