This quirky review of an eccentric 1970’s sci-fi ends with lesson around burnout culture and the creative class. As well as and insights on how the mythos of modern capitalism twist the minds of our citizen.

Surprisingly insightful video, curious on people’s takes if u give it a watch (main bit im taking about is around 3/4 way through when he talks “mythos”)

"The target of the administration’s campaign is a stratum of society that’s sometimes called the #ProfessionalManagerialClass, or the #PMC, although there’s not one universal moniker that #MAGA applies to the group it is now crushing. That group includes society’s knowledge workers, its cognitive elite, the winners of the tournament that is the American meritocracy. It covers not only #lawyers, university administrators, and #professors, but also #consultants, investment #bankers, #scientists, #journalists, and other white-collar workers who have prospered in the information age.

Back in the 1990s, as the group began to emerge in its current form, the liberal economics commentator Robert Reich hailed its members as “symbolic analysts”—people who identify and solve problems by thinking through ideas rather than via physical labor. A decade later, the urbanist Richard Florida put forth an even more triumphalist term: the “#creativeclass.” That is, its members had the academic training to master the complexities of a globalized economy, the intellectual skills to conquer the digital world."

As #CreativeClass™ I enjoy rich benefits like US health "insurance"! For only a large "premium" paid as a deposit each month, I get to "copay" for services whenever I need them!
ENVY ME!
Or do me #MutualAid.

Like many of the now creative-class neighborhoods that dot the edges of the Chicago city limits, Hyde Park started out as a wealthy weekend getaway suburb in the 1800s, back when the actual city didn't go much past the Loop and River North. Thus it's one of those weird neighborhoods that occasionally still feature a single street whose layout is a little off the official city grid, because some rich stubborn person used to live there and used all their power and wealth to stop the city from redoing the street, back in 1889 when it incorporated Hyde Park and placed it under the official city limits of Chicago. Huzzah for these little one-block wonders (like here at 52nd and Kenwood), because it's these burps in the system that make an urban landscape so interesting. Seen here, a series of the old upper-middle-class mini-mansions that used to dot this neighborhood in the 1800s, which in this case survived the decades and are now creative-class multifamily residences.

A rare one-block curved road in Chicago, in this case at 52nd and Kenwood in the Hyde Park neighborhood where I live, showcasing a series of what originally were upper-middle-class single-family McMansions in the Victorian Age, now cut up into several lower-middle-class multifamily residences.
