The people who have lots of physical capital ($$$) are fucked.
People with virtual capital (created using the imagination) will be unfucked.
While most of the found-already-made article above is academic bullshit,
I truly love that last line. I'd rephrase it to: "Virtual capital (created using
the imagination) will become the equal of physical capital."
Do I really think that will happen? Ha, ha, ha, ha --- $$$ already buys,
or buys the suppression of, any virtual capital that $$$ finds useful
(i.e. profitable).
The beauty of poetry (the virtual capital we create and refine here)
is that $$$ finds it worthless.
As long as poetry remains worthless, it will remain free.
Love is priceless.
