Human is animal that has overcame its animality. Transcended from very primitive stage into conscious stage of humanity and civilization, human is different from its early stage because as Marx said, it has produced something, in this part is its own consciousness. In this part, human can be identified as machine that has to produce well in order to maintain its performance.
Therefore, human is not looked from the value of his existence but how it can produce things. In the narration of modern world, particularly capitalism, since it is an idealism that control the world, human is a good or an affective one as long as it follows its grand narration. Capitalism can be compared with the grand machine that works 24/7.
The irony is located when human realizes that there is something wrong about capitalism itself, the grand narration that controlling the scheme of the world, the bad side of grand machine. Then he is no longer an affective machine. He can be illustrated as broken gear from grand machine, he should be replaced as soon as possible.
