Capitalism's existence is actively turning the screws on humanity. The screws of Meta are a lot more refined than the ones used by the Slave Trade Monopoly of the Dutch West India Company but the screws persist.

Treating descriptive models as the causal factors behind the things they're describing is a reification fallacy.
