Depth of thinking is a resistance bc capitalism requires shallow, literal, monetizable minds to function. Thinking symbolically makes you hard to control, empathetic & grounded in nuanced humanity. Interiority & aestheticism is not a bourgeois distraction, it’s a Renaissance.
Most rebellious thing you can do against late stage capitalism and corporations is to think deeply about symbolism and art. The more shallow and literal you’re thinking the easier you are to monetize. You’re great at fulfilling their bottom line when you are trained not to think.
