Rene,
of course, i cling to my paltry labor theory of value, ...consider
history replete with "wonders" of man, ...technology, high art...and not
least, the struggle for the right, ...and consider it impious
(insouciance/hubris of the privileged) to disparage it for a neutering
being. to a significant degree through labor one learns, wins illumination,
and self.
apart form Power's perpetual method of reification, the notion of
anathematizing objectivation tout court seems to me a far gone essentialism.
