You’ve said it so poetically. I don’t want to start some long discussion but there is a difference between lower forms of life like worms and higher forms of life like cows and humans in that we higher forms have free time. We play. We imagine and romp. Some of us like humans go even higher! We use our free brain time to think up languages! Music! Space-based telescopes and vaccines! It’s really cool. And capitalism takes us and reduces us to a monad, a cog in a machine, and we’re back to the lower order. Now we do the thing until we die, like the worm turning the earth until they die on the job, conveniently in a hole.

Shit sucks
