      “Having complete and total control over every single aspect of your experience, including everyone around you, is the textbook definition of alienation—precisely how human beings are severed from each other and from their own humanity.”

      but no one has complete control? is the quote meant to suggest that alienation is correlated with level of control over your life? or caused by it?

      I think cause and effect here are tangled up you form strong bonds by going through shit together, and constrained environments are often either geared toward that (e.g. military and education have, to some extent *are*, explicit rites of passage) but (cont in next tweet)

      I think the going-through-shit-together part is the important part, and it's *facilitated* by constraints on exit / ability to tap out

      The ending of American Psycho (the book) comes to mind.

      I agree “total control” is impossible but there are people who have as much control as humanly possible (near-infinite resources, complete control over their social and romantic life, the ability to choose nearly every interaction they have) and I do think it “flattens” them

      Replying to @noampomsky @sonyasupposedly and

      for ex if you have an near-infinite partner pool (like many movie stars do) it becomes incredibly difficult to have a deep and lasting relationship because loss is no longer “expensive”; you become much more isolated from meaningful attachment

          I guess I just don't vibe with the "control" framing of this phenomenon
