This world revolves around capitalism/ consumerism currently- to my mind. That seems the whole idea of it. Slave away working in order to own shit. Ok, the bigger things you may not own for some years but life seems like a race to accumulate material goods to a lot of people. So no- I don't think the first part is true. We'll own plenty of stuff. Whether it will make us all that happy is something else. I think simply the need we feel to own bigger and better. That we feel entitled to have what everyone else does, doesn't exactly do us any favours. I feel like it could be: 'You could own the world and still be miserable.'
