dang pointed out that Graeber has posted some pretty interesting comments on this site[0], which unfortunately I cannot find right now.
I had heard of, but not read, Bullshit Jobs so his HN comments was my first exposure to him. Honestly, I just remember being impressed by his willingness to engage. I'm sure it was painful and exhausting for him, especially his repeated skirmishes with DeLong, but so many authors shy away from challenges to their work so it was refreshing to see someone come into the proletarian trenches that are HN comments and do battle.

- MrsPeaches 6y agoWow, this exchange between him and Brad DeLong is utterly bizzare. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17164707 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17164707
