Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather be a pig than a fascist
You don't have to say yes or no right now. You can come back around later.

I especially liked Roottrees' solution because they seemed to clearly aim for replacement assets that emphasized all the sort of small details AI can't get right, as if to let people know they really did follow through on that.

blowback is what the blowback podcast is about

also unfortunate that they're going to have twelve more seasons before they can get to this

It's the only formula-adjacent math thing funny and annoying enough to be a tattoo candidate for me

I mean Trilobozoa definitely did happen through

3 is usually fine! The joke I was going for is that lots of results for an unknown prime p will say p cannot be equal to 2 (especially if your result has anything to do with quadratics but also whenever you need 1 != -1)

number theory heads know how bold it would be to investigate the number 2

That's...! Them literally saying..! It's fine but not in my back yard..!!!

Okay I think this might be a source of some of the disconnect here, what do the theories look like that make this prediction? It doesn't seem intuitive that if you own a condo in a densely populated area that you should be that bothered by further development

I think people are confused about Graeber because he was an outsider academic and his books seem poppy and accessible, but they are quite reflective of contemporary anthropology! Debt, for instance, is a great anthropology book that is filling an important hole in accessible literature!
November 23, 2025 at 7:20 PM
Diamond really tells on himself in that sense! He doesn't engage with any actual anthropology, I was going to say after claude-levi strauss but he doesn't engage with strauss or anybody before him either, or even any contemporary history of south america like 'open veins.' He didn't talk to anyone!!

Yeah I think this furthers my Michael Hobbes metathesis that critics and cranks are VERY reliant on you not actually reading the receipts and hoping you just accept what's in the abstract or what they told you the source said.
November 23, 2025 at 6:53 PM
Yeah I don't think I would characterize this as a 'takedown' and he's bringing up Jared Diamond as a 'materialist' in the critique so I'm not sure this is actually worth taking that seriously

Actually reading through one of the 'debunking' papers linked by Wiki and finding it's full of 'well he didn't consider Marx...' and quibbling about his labeling of poll respondents is actually making me feel a lot more confident in HIS case. These people are just declaring victory in the abstract.
November 23, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Graeber set himself up a bit with the assertions about trends and prevalence of bullshit jobs but his critics are a little too self-satisfied by just attacking that aspect of his theory and wheedling about 'perceiving' your job to be bullshit. The moral injury effects are very well evidenced!!

He had to know where this was gonna wind up when he was making that challenge coin
