goddamn, another banger from graeber. miss you bud

WOW, such clarity on beurocracy as a weapon of power. RIP David i am so grateful for your tireless contributions to shedding light on our experience

46:35 "'Alienation' is largely the subjective experience of living inside" "lopsided and fractured structures of imagination" (related to "domains of production"). This is incredibly profound. The account at around 49:30 of "Evans-Pritchard" "doing something very much like traditional women's work" by protecting "the oblivious and self-important men in charge from the consequences of their own blindness" is also perspicacious. So glad this is on yt. Thank you E B

Fabulous , sadly missed.

I like graeber and hmos are violent but at 26:44 same comment in his book debt about the violence of ejecting someone from a library… has he ever encountered the often violent loons who demand entrance to libraries without ids? Also many university libraries are open to the public

Is there a version without the feedback hum on the audio?

The study of modernity cannot be done with a detailed understanding of Graeber's theories.

how do i get to the fifth floor?

fck yeah!

The biggest difference between a Noam Chomsky lecture with a David Graeber lecture is that when Noam gives a very long formal lecture, he doesn't read it. He knows it really really well.

The biggest difference between a Noam Chomsky lecture and a David Graeber lecture is that they are/were completely different people with different interests. Just kidding. Noam is a committed universalist who mostly lectured for public dissemination. Many of Graeber's lectures were similarly tailored for a layperson, but this is an anthropologically focused talk directed towards LSE students and faculty. If you don't understand his thesis, just say so. There are multiple lectures by Noam on youtube where he reads from prepared notes, anyway, so I don't really know what the point of your comment is?

I can't wrap my mind around how any moral, intelligent person could be an anarchist.
