“We are captured by a machine that treats you as less than human.”
— Ta Nehisi Coates

Simplified Meaning:
Imagine a big company where you work, but instead of looking at you as a person with feelings and needs, they only see you as a tool to get their job done. Think about a factory where people have to do the same thing over and over without breaks or care for their well-being. The workers are treated as if they don't matter and are only important for the work they can produce. This makes them feel trapped, like they're not even people anymore, just parts of a machine. In our modern world, many organizations or systems can make us feel this way, focusing only on efficiency and profit. To avoid feeling like this, it's important to find places or build communities that value and respect people for who they are, not just what they can do.
