Now I have to go read all of Graeber's work... everything I have been taught about money is a lie
This is a great watch
"David Graeber was the anthropologist who re-framed economics by showing that its most basic assumptions were myths.
Where conventional economists traced money to barter and exchange, Graeber traced it to trust and relationships.

I seriously hate academic writing; actually, I seriously hate the feedback process of academic writing.
I hearby declare that this will be my last academic paper ever.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but most social welfare programs area form of capitalism taking care of the poor people it creates (mostly so we can say we aren't monsters) But there is no ownership stake involved, so... not actually socialism

So...I'm starting to think that doing a capstone project or a thesis is about enduring suffering more than it's about showing my capability #thingsthatmakeyougohmmm

It’s a beautiful day for the end of the pagan year. Here on the farm we celebrate this as New Year’s Eve, tomorrow being the start of another turn of the Wheel. Blessings to all who also celebrate this day.

nobody ever "did it all themself" there's no such thing as the "self made man".
these are constructions of men who want others to give them something for nothing, of people who just can't be bothered to help.
find your community, don't just give, learn to accept help from the right people, thrive.
