31:57 I don’t think it was Deleuze’s point that the traditional avenues of bourgeois control were disappearing outright but that they were being modified to better interface with techno-capital which would become the dominant form of control in the same way that the state was the dominant form of control in the early modern and late feudal ages and the family was the dominant form of control in early feudalism and antiquity. The school, hospital, and prison are still very much thriving as forms of control and where they were beholden to the state in the times of Descartes or Marx they pledge allegiance to capital now.

Very good, thanks. It seems that if power of or meaning in voting is shifting to big corporations and pledging one's dollars is one's vote, but really it's a vote for capitalism which is not what the state does. The state recreates a sort of disc or trampoline for engagement from consolidating a pool of money and unfolding that back into complexity, while maintaining roads etc that are part of a common world language of trade, including non-human.
Capitalism seems to combine with hierarchy to form a sphere which is always projected into the future and becomes the sacred language focus, with trade language embedded and family language too, but only for human and not the non-human, sort of like the HR department of a big corporation is about the family of the corporation and not the human race.
