The Weight of Value™
“Instant access killed weight—ritual repairs it.” Scarcity as meaning.
The Weight of Value™ argues that instant access collapsed meaning. When waiting died, weight died—anticipation, scarcity, and commitment all erased by reversibility and smoothness. Structured as twelve chapters, it traces cultural collapse: from “The Death of Waiting” to “The Violence of Smoothness,” “The Tyranny of Reversibility,” and “The Abandonment Economy.” Each section names a fracture and offers pathways to repair through ritual, refusal, and designed weight. Less nostalgia than physics: a cultural constant we must rebuild.
