Part III: Cultural Capital
Culture is an investment with dividends in ways pretty similar to money and with pretty similar consequences, there is a barrier-of-entry price of BOTH to many things.

Except that the cultural price is *invisible* and you do not spend your culture. Is like people never asked you to pay things, only to see if you had enough money
and the question itself was tacit, never really said, but executed

A thousand monkeys can typing randomly in typewriters could randomly generate a work of Shakespeare : but can they recognise they did?

Things get new meaning for you as you accumulate cultural capital, you see them in wildly different eyes, when you're an adult you see kids movies and you find all villains ham-fisted but you did not as a child
No matter how much cultural capital you have right now you probably experienced the sensation of raising it? A little?
You get new words for things, new meanings, new interpretations, links between things, previously unseen, start kicking in:
By definition: I can only give you examples of when I see that happen to me, here is a thread of 3:

And other people when they develop that cultural capital they also recognise the same things! The recognising becomes key, you recognise when someones recognise this creates in-groups and out-groups

Of course is really handy that building the cultural capital in order to recognise all this takes a HUGE amount of time right? Benefiting those with the luxury of:
Now please re-read that @existentialcoms I shown you in Part I, with the cultural capital now in mind
You perceive a smallness in yourself when you discuss with someone with a perceived great gap of cultural capital, we are all programmed to feel so
Like everything in sociology it is more complex, cultural capital is not all, but is a big, prevalent, consistent bonus, one that (contrary to Symbolic Violence and Hexis) most people have at least a little conscience of even if not in all its ramifications & that composes
