COT: We turn our capitalist gaze towards everything— even life itself— and we attempt an economic analysis/solution for multi-dimensional issues. Viewing humanity through an economic lens turns our every human act into a potential “side hustle” or additional income stream. When the market is “the measure of all things,” then everything we do can be monetized. Oh you’re good at writing and you love to do it? Monetize it! Dancing makes you happy and you’re good at it? Sell lessons! Become an entrepreneur on the side. Be your own boss…be a girl boss! In the name of empowerment and the God of capitalist delight, turn your human self into a walking brand and convert every waking hour into a money-making opportunity. Am I saying it’s bad to be an entrepreneur? NO. What I *am* saying is that we should question the premise that tells us that we must be “productive” in our “free” time. I’m pushing back against the voice inside all of us that exalts an economic lens as a rational lens and makes the economic the “measure of all things.” I’m saying that doing something that you love for the sheer joy that it brings you is its own reward. DON’T MEASURE YOUR WORTH BY YOUR PRODUCTIVITY! This is our LIFE! Enjoy it, guilt free!
