Description
You’re not a rational economic agent
You’re not an individual
You’re just a structure through which other hands act
Your parents’ hands
The hands of the people who have been mean to you
The hands of the people who have been beautiful to you
The hands of music and TV and advertising
The hands of scrolling and watching and laughing
And so they’re all doing stuff
You can see some of it and you can’t see some
You recognise where some of the hands are from
And those you can’t recognise you just call “yourself”
Although it’s really not
So that’s how it is
It’s the truth
And it’s not bad
It’s fine
Weird
But fine
Beautifully maybe even
It’s just painful if you think reality is one thing and it’s actually something else
Fighting how things are with how you mistakenly think they should be
