I mean, it seems like the guy went into the viewing already with a notion that capitalism is bad, and then watched a lot of really boring video, and then attributes the self-imposed tedium to how capitalism "distorts or ability to understand time and space". Only someone predisposed to this perspective would think that makes any sense at all.



Money isn't bounded by time nor space, it is actually a trivial observation but for him the movie shows a physical manifestation of that idea


I'm sorry, I don't understand that kind of writing. I know what each individual word means and I understand the sentences, but altogether none of it makes any sense.

> "Money isn't bounded by time nor space"

Wha? Money is not a constant of the Universe. Expressed as currency, it's explicitly limited to particular regions and eras. I cannot use Finnish markka in the US (bound by space) nor even in Finland (bound by time).

It's literally bounded by time and space, like everything. Seriously, anti-Capitalist rhetoric relies on these sort of poetic images, but cannot level any kind of effective critique.
