He does indeed call Firestone out by name lol
one of my teachers touched on that in african studies i think
it stuck with me because i’ve had to go to firestone for my car over the years and now i can’t separate it (which is good to be aware of course)
i think he likely may have been referencing nkrumah when we discussed it

Wow this study is super interesting. It's on the effects of sociocultural factors on narcissism in Western societies, but its conclusions are very relevant to how capitalism affects culture and through that negatively affects our psyche:
"Our results showed that grandiose narcissism was higher and self-esteem was lower in individuals who grew up in former West Germany compared with former East Germany. Further a***yses indicated no significant differences in grandiose narcissism, vulnerable narcissism or self-esteem in individuals that entered school after the German reunification (≤ 5 years of age in 1989)."
In short, capitalism creates a culture that causes the people that live in that culture to be more narcissistic and have lower self-esteem, and that's even way before social media became a thing, imagine how big the effect would be today.

I think we all knew this deep down but to see a scientific study confirm it is pretty crazy.
