Planned obsooescence is a time bomb in products, particularly electronics by [Apple](/s/crApple). It means deliberately making a device become defunct sooner and components last for a shorter time. It is a tactic to make people purchase their next product sooner (after the deliberately shortened lifespan of their previous product expired). # Should planned obsolescence be **outlawed?**

Religion revolves around something eternal, a core that can't die

...

Most people are followers

Babylon is alive and well.

That's dismissing religion as if it was like any fad, it's not serious

Religion deals with death

What do you know about death?

I'm talking about institutional religion. You're talking about spiritual beliefs. 2 totally different things for free thinkers, but I guess they're the same thing for many sheep.

What do you know about death?

I know not to expect an afterlife that's strictly defined by any arbitrary rules imagined by men. Death is the border of the jurisdiction of Might-Makes-Right.

Institutional/centralized religons aren't the dominant model when it comes to religion, in terms of efficiency

Look at the vatican, it's almost dead, zero credibility

It's the decentralized aspect which is much more interesting imo, when it comes to surviving the shit hit the fan, including the total collapse of the "head quarter"

Anyway, an ideology revolving around materialistic concerns only, with some sort of over rationality at its core, as in everything has to be 1+1=2, is doomed to fail, it's not "deep" enough, it's superficial. Especially when you consider the fact that science is the history of science, first, it's far from complete and it turns often wrong after a while.

Needless to mention that Man isn't a rational creature
