Financialization makes things more transactional.

· Bits and Bobs 2/3/25
  • Financialization makes things more transactional.
    • Efficient transactionalism allows fluid markets to form, but in a way that removes the underlying thing's soul.
    • Transactional creates efficiency while removing meaning.
      • Finite vs infinite.
      • Focused on means, not end.
    • A thing that is not legible can be infinite.
      • Once it's made transactional and legible it is automatically finite.
    • In the last decade humanity has created environments that are hyper-financialized, the manic pixie dream of financialization, the fullest, platonic form of financialization.
      • This hyper-financialized universe creates an auto-enshittifying vortex.
      • As it rotates faster the vortex pulls more energy into it, and hollows out the internal meaning even further.
