Degrees, Personal Achievements and Subconscious Capitalist Monetization"
"Degrees, Personal Achievements and Subconscious Capitalist Monetization"
Nowadays, many people are using their degrees and personal success only as a tool for their own self-satisfaction or self-branding. Whether they know it or not, in this process they are accepting the capitalist perspective as natural and fair.
Degrees or success, which are basically the result of knowledge, skills, or hard work, have become a marketable commodity these days. Some use it to sell themselves as an authority, while others use it to gain views, followers, and financial benefits. But in this process, core knowledge and moral responsibility become marginalized.
As a result, degrees and achievements become only a means of self-satisfaction. Individuals become holders of subconscious monetization. At the same time, they sustain the trends and rules of capitalism, because they are converting every view, like, subscription, or achievement into financial or social value.
This creates a social and psychological cycle where people see their achievements as commodities, and society supports the value of these commodities. Knowledge, achievements, and human skills are increasingly becoming instruments of capitalist exchange, and individuals are spontaneously keeping that system running through them.
At least, this conscious analysis shows us that it is not just achievements, but their use and perspective that create true value.
