The Seven Deadly Sins of Consumption and Glutanism
Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins that most closely corresponds to this kind of broader phenomenon of consumerism. Averus is not really the same as consumerism because it's more about moving on to the next thing and the next thing, you know. The hedonic treadmill is what psychologists talk about: Adjust your satisfaction levels to whatever it is that you have, and then you become dissatisfied with it. And that seems to be part of what's being captured by this idea of gluttony in some ways.
