That's right, they don't just hate creatives. They'll go after anyone.

I wonder what the hyper-capitalist's end game looks like. One giant company that covers everything with one man sitting at a dashboard, tweaking parameters? Is that one man even necessary?

I wonder what our plans are for when "the economy" prefers to do it's thing without us. Writing poems all day? What capitalist instrument will provide "money" for us to spend in this giant machine?

Old joke about airplane automation:

In the future there will be just one pilot and a dog in the cockpit. The dog is there to bite the pilot if he touches anything.

There’s only one way to win in a game theory world and that’s to be on top at the end.

So where is it going? Why: the end.
