   @flyhigh @hazelnot @rysiek @Daojoan Since you're talking so highly of Graeber here, I have to just pop in and say that you will probably like the podcast @srslywrong. They praise him quite often. And it's very good and funny.

     @hazelnot @rysiek @Daojoan The Dawn of Everything was so astonishing to me that now I'm reading 3 other of Graeber's books. Someone who met and talked with Graeber said he realized after a little while that Graeber was a true genius. He really was brilliant.

     @rysiek @Daojoan Wtf I just now found out that David Graeber died in 2020 and The Dawn of Everything was published post-mortem

     @Daojoan can't remember who put it this way (might have been David Graeber in "Debt"), but it really rings true:

     Of course women were equal members of the pre-agriculture tribes! Survival was difficult, and any tribe that attempted to side-line a full *half* of their members from active participation in hunts etc would simply die off.
