Production: forging material to shaping souls

Production has evolved from the heavy machinery of material transformation to the weightless algorithms of behavioral extraction.
Once, capital demanded we adapt to its clanking engines, processing earth into goods for a dream of material betterment—steel into cities, cotton into clothes. Now, industry giants wield algorithms, not hammers, mining human behavior to guide not what we make, but who we become.
Machinery built a world; algorithms manipulate it, turning us from producers of goods to products of data, shaped not for progress but for profit.
