We don’t have infinite resources to create new things every year. Planned obsolescence is a contributor for the destruction of our planet and for climate change.

And on the contrary of what your friend believes , capitalism stagnates innovation because what doesn’t sell won’t be produced no matter how helpful it is for humanity.

Yeah, on capitalism nothing gets done if it cannot make a profit.
