    I love Graeber. His book with David Wengrow, the Dawn of Everything, was definitely a worldviews shifter for me. Amazing book.

    I didn't read Bullshit Jobs, but it read an article he wrote along with it, that was great.

        Seems to get some mixed reviews, lots of people on goodreads sayng it writes off the concept of trauma?

        There's something to that, at least with trauma (and it doesn't really explore Trauma). Still, as a philosophical exercise, I found it really compelling. If you end up reading it or listening to the audiobook, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

          That we have been really told that things must be binary and not maybe, like that in quantum physics, where things are all possibilities.

          He's known a bit more for satirical conspiracy stuff, so goes that way a bit too 😄
