Someone’s been reading Dave Graeber again
Listen, he can have all the citations he wants.
Someone forgot to mention Wengrow again
What are your thoughts on Peter Gelderloos’s Worshiping Power? I think it’s similar to The Dawn and Debt but still a different perspective
Haven’t gotten to it yet, but I read the first few pages and it looks interesting. Going to use this for something tomorrow to save me from STEM duties. Thanks. :)
The reason anthropologists are anarchists is because they know how humans invented the state
I knew a fellow that studied anthropology in college. Got a high paying job figuring out how to deny insurance payments to people.
Not to take away from your point, but I do wonder how the hell he got there.
I was paraphrasing David Graeber, but your friend just reinforces my assertion that people are, in fact, the absolute worst.
Every good archaeologist and anthropologist is a bit of an anarchist.
