I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the split in “attention economy” discourse
this is a term coined in political economy to describe the systematic harvesting of human cognition as a capital resource — one of the defining extractions of late capitalism, strip-mined for profit without meaningful consent
in crypto it’s a brand identity
same term. completely inverted value systems

Spending my Friday eve watching leftist video essays.
In a milder version, similar happened in East Germany where the privatization meant that most of the productive companies and assets were seized by West German "oligarchs", leaving East Germans disenfranchised and surely not surprisingly they make up a large share of those leaning very right these day.
One "positive" side effect of the communist everyone should work ethic is that older East German women are less likely to end up in poverty than their West German counterparts nowadays, mostly because the latter barely had a career.
That's because our tax system sure encourages financial dependence in marriages.
Fascinating stuff isn't it.

Not really news to anyone but still a good documentary pointing out how Amazon actually drives up prices. Which is funny considering people say like "hey it's cheap."... if we all buy there we can't complain our inner cities businesses die, and about shittier products.
I quit using it years ago, and what can I say, I'm still alive and it ain't so bad to go to a shop and occasionally wait a little for stuff to be in store.
