current big dissertation feedback gripe is the committee member who really thinks that I should be writing a dissertation about surveillance capitalism despite me stating in my proposal and defense that surveillance capitalism will be lightly touched upon but is not the central focus here

maybe this is a sign I am just a grouch but I am more interested in the fact surveillance capitalism is based on speculative financialization and financialization furthers inequality than the vibe of personal offense and impropriety re: "how dare you monetize my quotidian experiences" that grounds the Zuboff analysis
