consumption-creation cycles

In creating is living, consuming is not, Kai asks: we consume more than humans were ever built to consume. we consume everything, information, food, water, lumber, silicon, we take it all and demand more. what will we do with it all? Contrasting Kai's title, we will indefinitely continue our consumption-creation cycles where both activities catalyze each other. Kai appears to reach a similar conclusion though, in particular noting the importance of your creation and others' consumption: there are so many opportunities to sit back and watch, but we have to push ourselves to fulfill our divine destiny and create something. once you see the indelible mark you leave on others through your work, i think you might even find it hard to stop. Not only can those cycles involve others' creation and your consumption, but they can proliferate through your past selves and present self too. What greater goods and gifts can you spiral toward from those that you have consumed and created prior?
