The Lightbulb Conspiracy

[SarK0Y]

This is a vitally important film, and is one which I would ask everyone here who is willing, to watch.  It is about planned obsolescence, and the various ways in which companies deliberately make defective products, in order to encourage consumerism.

here is put the simple rule: no matter that every1 has recalled you w/ last words -- only matters that money of those rude people doesn't forget you but hella Yea -- Fuku$h!ta always been the very child of this short-sighted ideology

Petrus,

Great discussion thread!

Here is something to think about!

A 200 watt light bulb...

Over 35 years ago working on an alarm system in an pol warehouse that was being upgraded I ended up with a dozen of these. Probably been in that warehouse from when it was built...

I have two of them left still burning... one in the garage and one outside where it gets exposed to weather

The others over the years broke by dropping or burning, but I never lost ONE to it burning out

One of the main reasons why many people need to see this film, is because so many are developing the opinion that technology in and of itself, is the main cause of our problems.  It is not; pathological engineering is.  I hope this film is able to demonstrate that.

I was originally going to put this in Conspiracy Theories, but then realised that it is actually a better fit here.  Planned obsolescence, and issues relating to the deliberate embrace of defective engineering, is one of the central problems that must be overcome, if we are to successfully transition to the type of society that Amaterasu, myself, and other people with similar visions have proposed.  As someone whose Bliss (as Amaterasu would put it) is related to systems automation, and non-defective technologies in general, this is a topic that I am particularly passionate about.

Just horrible these companies must be banned for cheating consumers..

Better, get rid of accounting for meaningful energy expended via exchange (trade, barter, money, etc.).  That would remove motive for planned obsolescence.
