"Blurring the boundaries between living and consuming in this way transfigures every part of our lives — the tragedy, the hardship, the joy — into something to be watched and commented upon. Imitated but never empathized with."

"We are not in a garden like I am in my dreams. We are in a place where entertainment has become the living and those human qualities that were once beyond commodification — attention, creativity, empathy, to name a few — are now capital."

a very good essay on the trouble with content and becoming it in this situation we've ended up with. it's important to be aware of who actually benefits the most from such systems so we don't lose ourselves in the process
