Some *light* reading -- history and prophecy...

I read #FrankWaters "#TheBookOfTheHopi" many years ago, but misplaced my old copy. Refreshing myself on #HopiProphecy and what it all means for the times we are living in.

#EricCline's "#1177BC" has been a good read. I'm finding his chapter about a "perfect storm of calamities" to be relevant to the age we are living in now, especially with regard to #ClimateCrisis and #Polycrisis.

Graeber/Wengrow's "#TheDawnOfEverything" has taken me a while to get through... So much to take in. Learning about power and systems of power and their origins.

"The Occult Features of #Anarchism" by #EricaLagalisse also deals with systems of power -- and how #MutualAid is part of true autonomy (I agree).

Homo Sapiens, animal cooperativo

Um exame da civilização humana coloca em xeque aqueles que refutam, “cientificamente”, perspectivas coletivistas. Significa valorizar cuidado e cooperação, e deixar de enxergar a competição como “natural”. E considerar de modo crítico a família nuclear, invejosa e paranoica

Jeg har oversat Gæld: De første 5000 år af David Graeber

Det har taget mig 10 år og jeg er stadig kæmpe fan af bogen. Jeg synes den er vildt vigtig og glæder mig til at læse den igen med andre på dansk.

Der er paneldebat i Politikens Boghandel nu på mandag 23 marts med Emma Holten, Sine Plambech og Lotte Folke.

Kom ind og hør om gælden, pengenes, økonomiens og patriarkatets historie plus en masse andet. Og skaf bogen!

David Graeber named something that changes how the work feels: the world is not inevitable. It is made — by what people build, invest in, and refuse. Which means the communities forming right now, choosing different values under real pressure, aren't peripheral. They're part of how things actually change.

If this resonates, the reflection behind it is worth your time — Reflections: January 6th, 2021:

Bei Gläubiger denke ich sofort an das Werk von #DavidGraeber: Schulden, die letzten 5000 Jahre:

Religionen haben mit Schuld zu tun, mit Schulden, die bleiben ...

Spiritualität kann jeder Mensch als den Sinn in seinem Leben und die Verbundenheit mit Natur und ihren Kräften entwickeln, wenn er / sie sich von den billig-Lösungen der letztendlich mörderischen Religionen befreit hat, "#Frieden" ist nur ein Versprechen, wie "#ewigesLeben" und die #Apokalypse, die #US-Mächtige veranstalten

Whoopsies! Apparently, #DavidGraeber thinks that people who conduct surveys are one of those #BullshitJobs. Well, I'd rather be farming and librarianing (is this a word? It is now) anyways!

@cerement For those who don't know...

#DavidGraeber's List of Bullshit Jobs:

"Graeber states that more than half of societal work is pointless, both large parts of some jobs and five types of entirely pointless jobs:

- Flunkies, who serve to make their superiors feel important, e.g., receptionists, administrative assistants, door attendants, store greeters;
- Goons, who act to harm or deceive others on behalf of their employer, or to prevent other goons from doing so, e.g., lobbyists, corporate lawyers, telemarketers, public relations specialists;
- Duct tapers, who temporarily fix problems that could be fixed permanently, e.g., programmers repairing shoddy code, airline desk staff who calm passengers with lost luggage;
- Box tickers, who create the appearance that something useful is being done when it is not, e.g., survey administrators, in-house magazine journalists, corporate compliance officers, academic administration;
- Taskmasters, who create extra work for those who do not need it, e.g., middle management, leadership professionals."

@gustavoduch me ha hecho pensar en este fragmento del libro El amanecer de todo de #davidgraeber y #davidwengrow donde habla de #colonizacion y #agricultura:

(ahora me he fijado que he puesto las fotos en orden inverso y edito para que quien lo lea, no se vuelva loc@)
