Ok here’s a thought:
What if our sole purpose here is to consume and nothing else
Everything else is just a romantic notion that we create
Discussion
If that’s the case, we need a new life form that exists purely to consume all our new waste
Careful though, because one day it may overtake us
If it learns how to consume what we consume
man has two selves, one carnal the other an ideal. life is a series of choices. my two bits
If that was true, nobody would have ever created any nice things for others. 
Like I said, it’s a romantic notion
Keeps us around consuming while thinking that we’re doing nice things
Using PoW as supporting proof for my theory
