Quote by Jean Francois Lyotard

Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorized in a new production: in both cases, the goal is exchange. Knowledge ceases to be an end in itself, it loses its use-value.

Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is

Summary

This quote suggests that knowledge is becoming commodified in today's society. It asserts that knowledge is primarily being produced and consumed for the purpose of monetary exchange and to be used as a tool for further production. As a result, knowledge is less valued for its inherent worth and utility, and more emphasized for its ability to generate profit or contribute to economic activities. This viewpoint implies a shift in the perception and treatment of knowledge, where its intrinsic value is somewhat diminished.
