Capital
“Late capitalism” has the brilliant ability to seem like its getting better while it only gets worse, convincing you you have access to more, while making sure you have less. New forms of non-ownership, liberal politics, and chemical enhancement ecstatically and coercively create a world of ever increasing stratification and decreasing opportunity. If progress is a myth, what myths did we tell ourselves to progress to here? And, more importantly, what’s next?
