Capital realised there were limits to how much useless junk it could sell to people.
But, what if they could get you to pay for things your brain would otherwise learn to do by itself?
What if they could get people to outsource cognitive functions like ’reading a document’ or ‘making some art’ to the point where they can’t do them anymore, but can pay $20 a month to replace what they’ve lost?
The whole world’s creativity on the hook to a US corporation for a monthly subscription. We’re already renting our culture, why not our brains too.
I really wish this was a joke.
