economists really took the divine right of kings and turned it into billionaire CEOs

“About twenty years ago, I attended a lecture by a Harvard professor who talked about how corporations operate like modern-day kingdoms. At one time, she said, people believed kings ruled by divine right, and today we seem to believe the same thing about corporations. Toward the end, she asked, “Do you know what it is that allowed people to let go of, overcome, and reject the notion of the divine right of kings?” I held my breath and got ready to take some notes. Her answer: “They just stopped believing in it.”

[*sighs*] gods damn it my communication professor is going to be so pleased about me using this but: “Man is the symbol-using (symbol-making, symbol-misusing) animal, inventor of the negative (or moralized by the negative), separated from his natural condition by instruments of his own making, goaded by the spirit of hierarchy (or moved by the sense of order), and rotten with perfection" -Kenneth Burke

Basically we created this nonsense, all of it, it is of our own design. We are the ones continuing its existence, perpetuating its power. So we can absolutely choose to dismantle it. Change how we look at it and make something new and better. I vote that we should.

you do kind of have to actively shape how you feel a little bit. you can't just like, passively wait for the world to impress and inspire you. you have to choose to look for it & you have to choose to find it.
