Yeah, but not worth doing and not fun are very much not the same thing are they?
This article is absolute trash. The author sets out to deliberately mislead with the same straw man that always seems to crop up when somebody attacks bullshit jobs.
- pineaux 2y agoAgree. But I like the tendency to criticize celebrated thinkers. This article is just not doing a good job. You could say the writer of this article has done a bullshit job. In a way.
- vundercind 2y agoGraeber in particular seems to attract critical pieces by people who seem to have done a very poor job at reading the work in question. It’s so bad that I basically expect it when I see one, now. No idea why.
- piva00 2y agoThe blog author also has quite a bullshit job, worked mostly in finance-adjacent (and seems to be quite into cryptocurrencies to top it off), and advertisement-related stuff.
