The anthropologist Marshall Sahlins, surveying the data on contemporary hunter-gatherers, exploded the Hobbesian myth in an article entitled "The Original Affluent Society." They work a lot less than we do, and their work is hard to distinguish from what we regard as play. Sahlins concluded that "hunters and gatherers work less than we do; and rather than a continuous travail, the food quest is intermittent, leisure abundant, and there is a greater amount of sleep in the daytime per capita per year than in any other condition of society." They worked an average of four hours a day, assuming they were "working" at all. Their "labor," as it appears to us, was skilled labor which exercised their physical and intellectual capacities...

Happy Earth Day.
Less is more, or as David Graeber put it:

"Our feelings of helplessness stem from the fact that for thirty years the tools of persuasion and coercion have been mobilized to wage an ideological war for capitalism, rather than to create conditions for capitalism to remain viable." -David Graeber

Releyendo a David Graeber. Recordé este post que escribí glosando su obra y su vida. Un poco comprimido, pero me gustó repasarlo. Por si a alguien le pudiera interesar

Lovely tribute to the late David Graeber by Rebecca Solnit, from her foreword to a new collection of his writing.
"David’s recurrent rallying cry as both a scholar and an activist was: “It does not have to be this way.” Where academia can be cool and guarded, pulling away from direct engagement, he was warm and enthusiastic, wanting to see ideas lead to actions that could change the world"
Mourning our ancestors at the dark moon...
This was superb work by #DavidGraeber for DoubleDownNews. He exactly got it on the #zionist propaganda against #JeremyCorbyn. This also makes abundantly clear what would be his position today.
Though we had a fair few scientific/anthropological disagreements, we were very close political comrades who turned up autonomously at many many of the same protests (Kurdish/ #Rojava, fossil fuel/climate/ #XR, student occupation/ Mill Bank, and above all #CARNIVAL PuPpETRY!). When he said, act as though you can make your own world, we really did it!
Invited round to dinner once, he met and talked to one of our #RadicalAnthropologyRabbits (showed his ❤️ in the right place)
Gustav-Landauer-Bibliothek Witten commented on Anfänge by David Graeber (Schriftenreihe der Bundeszentrale für Politische Bildung, #10889)

📕️Neuerwerbung der Gustav-Landauer-Bibliothek Witten:
David Graeber, David Wengrow:
Anfänge
Eine neue Geschichte der Menschheit
David Graeber und David Wengrow entfalten in ihrer Menschheitsgeschichte, wie sich die Anfänge unserer Zivilisation mit der Zukunft der Menschheit neu denken und verbinden lässt. Über Jahrtausende hinweg, lange vor der Aufklärung, wurde schon jede erdenkliche Form sozialer Organisation erfunden und nach Freiheit, Wissen und Glück gestrebt. Graeber und Wengrow zeigen, wie stark die indigene Perspektive das westliche Denken beeinflusst hat und wie wichtig ihre Rückgewinnung ist. Lebendig und überzeugend ermuntern sie uns, mutiger und entschiedener für eine andere Zukunft der Menschheit einzutreten und sie durch unser Handeln zu verändern.

Je ne voulais pas en faire mon #vendredilecture car j'ai commencé trop de livres mais j'apprends tant de choses à chaque page que j'ai déjà partagé des extraits de la préface ici (J'❤️Mastodon).
Je lis actuellement "Les pirates des lumières" de #DavidGraeber aux éditions Libertalia et c'est juste fantastique.
Toujours ce style unique et agréable. Ce souci de retourner le sol où l'on a figé tant de convictions fallacieuses.
GRAEBER manque tellement, il est mort trop jeune. Heureusement qu'il a beaucoup écrit. Merci à lui et à @LibertaliaLivre qui avaient mis son livre en téléchargement libre à son décès. Je dois l'acheter en physique pour les en remercier.
Today would be his 63rd birthday.
Sourly missed.

II. Pirate Enlightenment by #DavidGraeber
In the early 18th century, the Zana-Malata people – a new culture created jointly by pirates from around the world and Malagasy – came to dominate the island. They brought with them the democratic practices of pirate ships (where captains were elected and served at the pleasure of their crews) and the matriarchal traditions of some Malagasy, creating a feminist, anarchist "Libertalia."
