Notes
Composed of dominant archetypes, cultural narratives, binary logics, ritual codes, role scripts, and socially embedded assumptions, the Symbolic Fabric provides ready-made answers to existential and practical questions (the Big Questions: Who am I?, What is success?, What is truth?, Who belongs?, What is real? Under the now dominant Regime of Accumulation, these answers are engineered by the Accumulating Class and distributed via Symbol Factories and Ideological Institutions to maintain systems of disconnection, compliance, and economic extraction.
While appearing natural or divine, the Symbolic Fabric is in fact an artifact, woven intentionally to produce psychic alignment with the goals of the Regime of Accumulation. It normalizes hierarchy, masks exploitation, and obscures alternative realities by embedding elite-serving archetypes like Only the Chosen, Good vs Evil, The Savior, and Sacrifice Equals Redemption into the collective psyche.
From ancient religious codes to modern cinematic universes (e.g., Star Wars, MCU, Harry Potter), vast resources have been invested in constructing and maintaining the Symbolic Fabric. Its effectiveness lies in its invisibility—those caught in its threads rarely recognize its origin or function
