#davidGraeber

i reckon him to be the most important intellectual of recent times. scientist, theorist, organizer.

most of his works are available https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/david-graeber , true anarchist shares what others might think is his.

#thedawnOfEverything isn't there, yet / since it's a jointly written book, but oh lass it likely changes your perspective about *many things*, if you let yourself to.

he wasn't eco-minded, but #climateCrisis makes his writings about #freedom and #democracy crucial imo.

I've been procrastinating reading #TheDawnOfEverything because I didn't want to put in the effort of writing notes. So today I decided to read without any writing.

I think I got about a page in before I had to bust out the computer to write stuff down.

The planet is dying, the world is an increasingly authoritarian and dysfunctional place and STILL people with full academic credentials keep asking me what we meant by getting “stuck”…

@Wickinho @askesis @lr estou matutando ainda.

Mas essa conversa de começo da humanidade me faz querer comentar que estou lendo o #TheDawnOfEverything que é ótimo, recomendo.

#AmReading #TheDawnOfEverything. This scholarly romp is a two-bookmark book: one for the 500-plus pages of text and another for the notes. This provocative, whirlwind survey of humans across time and space leaves me in awe of our earliest ancestors – for their audacity and adaptability, their creativity, and their quirkiness!

Graeber & Wengrow - #TheDawnOfEverything

I have some time for myself today, in a strange way, as I wait before my weekend shift at Sesc, and I'm reading Graeber & Wengrow's #TheDawnOfEverything
Makes one wonder if we can choose and build better societies for ourselves, in contrast with news we get daily from such fractured and dark political times.

Good morning from @JaipurLitFest #JLF2023 where I'll be speaking to @davidwengrow this morning on the (gigantic!) Front Lawn stage about the PHENOMENON that is #TheDawnOfEverything https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1616652913476268033

Currently reading The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity.

“We often think humans started in small isolated groups and only when the population grew we got globalisation. It is, in a way, the other way round. Take the Middle East. In ancient times it was a large interconnected regional system and nowadays if you want to move from Cairo to Damascus you’ve gotta work for the CIA…” Brilliant interview with @davidwengrow@twitter.com at @novaramedia@twitter.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR-EN0YIBIg #archeology #TDoE #thedawnofeverything #anthropology #xp

Wow! Just found #DavidGraeber's world #history course materials! All free online, no paywall -- awesome. My 2023 goal is to catch up on everything I missed since my BA in #anthropology in 1990. I've read #Debt and am rereading #TheDawnofEverything. Anyone else here a #Graeber fan?

Another interesting insight from this book: western society is actually quite unusual in how we organize ourselves around private property. Even things like human rights are often justified by us having ownership of our bodies, rather than, say, valuing human freedom.

#Books #TheDawnOfEverything

I've only just started this book, but it really comes out swinging in its first chapter. The authors point out something that I hadn't realized before: if you ask "where did inequality come from?" you're assuming that we all used to live in perfect little egalitarian bands, which isn't necessarily true. I'm excited to read more.
