Nicely done, Vincent. I think "we" stems from a techno-materialist view of history. So history is done to us by techno-capitalism. We tolerate this because of very longstanding imaginations of the world, including the proposition that "economics" is not "politics." (What are you, some sort of Commie?) I'm trying to work on this . . . but your intuition here strikes me as right: who gave Altman sovereignty? And why are we expected to kiss that ring?
