What I mean is that we constantly consume something made by others: food, music, movies, tv shows, opinions. Even if you read some intellectual works, you still consume what others have made. The solution to this would be to stop doing it. Of course we are to some degree dependant on what others make and so on, but rather than consuming everything without thinking about it, the opposite approach could be to only consume what is absolutely necessary
The day of an average person, if you inspected it for several different people probably just consists of consuming all day. The only time when he may create something is when he is doing it for some corporation or for money
