I'm reading #TheDawnOfEverything, delighted to hear these scholars lucidly arguing for something really important to me.

The arrogance of #MythOfProgress – which skews how we regard our ancestors, and shrinks our ability to imagine alternative futures – has frustrated me for a very long time. At last: DEBUNKED!

Graeber in particular happens to be my favorite scholarly curmudgeon at this point. So very clearheaded, so very cantankerous. #RestInPeace Graeber.
