bullshit jobs (graeber, 2019)
"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it.

"Direct action is, ultimately, the defiant insistence on acting as if one is already free." --David Graeber
I have decided that this year we will simply not be doing this DST nonsense in this house. No clocks will be changed. The ones that autochange will be changed back. Enough is enough. We cannot bow to tyranny or it will never end

graeber was a traitor to the revolutionary class (the PMC)
This admittedly is also why Graeber needs to not be remembered with any fondness.

For the journalists asking us to “engage” with conservatives, for our own good, here’s David Graeber engaging with Peter Thiel.
The interesting thing about it is, Graeber understands Thiel perfectly. Thiel does not have a single clue what Graeber’s platform is.

The reasons why we hate the book are contained in the podcast episode you're linking to. tl;dr he *is* worse than Diamond or Graeber!
I don’t get why people hate Yuval Harrari’s book so much. Less so why they dislike him & wonder “why he has a career”. Other “big history” writers (Diamond, Fernandez Armesto, Graeber) don’t get half as much hate. The book is not good (an understatement), I get it. But it’s not worse than any other.
Episode 46: Sapiens
It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

I never expected Evil David Graeber Thought to be such a big part of the 2020s
So a wannabe DOGEr at Brown Univ from the conservative student paper took the univ org chart and ran it through an AI aglo to determine which jobs were "BS" in his estimation and then emailed those employees/admins asking them what tasks they do and to justify their jobs. bloat.brownspectator.com
