Under Han’s transparency society, money erases singularity and difference.

Evidence

Matters prove transparent when they shed all negativity, when they are smoothed out and leveled, when they do not resist being integrated into smooth streams of capital, communication, and information. … Money, which makes it possible to equate anything with anything else, abolishes all incommensurability, and all singularity. The society of transparency is an inferno of the same. — Grant Bollmer, Katherine Guinness, The Influencer Factory, 96
