#Stoicism is many times misused by #hustleculture as a way to make people numb to their demise.

Stoicism is a #philosophy that needs not be #commodified as it does its best as free knowledge to turn the obstacle into the way and prevent feelings from dictating how we react to everyday life. It is the search of virtue through it four pillars.

#Wisdom #Temperance #Justice #Courage

2/2 DO NOT attempt to mask the large repositories of collective #knowledge (i.e. ‘general intellect’) that are appropriated and encoded into this algorithmic model to produce the #material artefact that is the #book-cum-commodity.

DO endeavour to draw attention to the process whereby both the #writing and labour of a multitude of #human and #nonhuman others is extracted and #commodified by using numerous quotations, references and endnotes to locate the book in a network of texts and intelligences.

@riotmuffin everything must be #commodified under capitalism. What sort of info was on the card? Did it look like some an individual trying to make themselves look "professional" or was it a tourist tour company that already operates in the city? Just wondering.

A long time ago on fedi, we wrote that we felt many people were identifying as #anarchist maybe to differentiate themselves from the #monopolists / corporateState totalitarians.

We felt that they simply wanted to be treated as sovereign citizens, not as cogs in the #corporatised and #commodified experiment some call #neoliberalism.

Haha. Of course Microsoft will put ads in #WindowsExplorer…

Thanks for sharing yet another way #WindowsUsers are being #commodified.
