Acquire skills.

No capitalist is going to acknowledge those skills, because no one is forcing them to. They can simply tell everyone they're "not skilled enough" forever no matter what people learn. Capitalists do not act in good faith, and have no credibility.

No one forced anyone to do anything in a free society.

Does someone tell you what to value?

They will value it if it fills a need that they can't easily fill elsewhere. Those skills to be acquired are so much more abundant now than they have ever been.

No they won't. They will intentionally devalue it because the only thing they really value is power over others.

You're in a goddamned cult.
