This is a pretty common thread throughout Graeber's work; incuriosity and stubbornly blinkered views of phenomena as part of a strained argument for left-anarchism. The criticisms of The Dawn of Everything are withering and along these

It's definitely a little alarming when institutions start blurring the boundaries between the different sets of metrics by which we are judged for basic life necessities like a job and a bank account. I think for a lot of people it wou

IMO it's kind of silly and mentally corrosive to think of everything you do in these kind of transactional terms. I post on reddit because I find it enjoyable. I am not doing "work" that I think I deserve to be compensated fo

Had this thought too, but I wonder if it worked better in the original language. Anyway, loved it regardless because the larger story is enthralling, even if the characters are subpar.

The problem with this theory is that studies that have looked across countries with different levels of social/economic support find it does very little. When countries get richer, people start having fewer kids, and giving parents mon

Thank you! This is exactly why we need to BAN weaving machines. The will to live is sustained by the work of the skilled artisans who create clothing by hand with looms. "But I don't want to pay 500 dollars for a t-shirt", yo

I think the idea is that if you want to build a building with 3+ spaces per unit, you should be doing it further away from transit. Let buildings with a higher ratio of housing density to parking be closer.
