Content

This might be better titled: "Wrong of Everything"... Each of us read different sections of the book and came together to round table our gleanings. We especially focused on the indigenous critique of European society, which was bangin in this case. If you have the patience, this is a pill pod certified recommended book (https://amzn.to/3PcqXRn)

There can be anarchist cities…

Quote of the episode, Erik to Victor: "...yeah, but if you loosen up a little bit..." A real Roberta Flack moment 😄 🎶Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song🎶

Politics extends into private zones of internal State, Ideology solicits and polices, much of which remains undocumented. Relating politics to creation myths is fascinating to think about, but customs, traditions and folklore probably give higher resolution insight. I think the etymology is different but lore/law. Diego once said many cultures don't have a word for "religion," existing only inside it, they just call it "law." Folklore was chased across Europe and cornered in Ireland by Christianity and then the Industrial Revolution. Infrastructure projects are mechanisations, slaves that disconnect and isolate their masters into alien environments. But folklore still exists in cities, people connect, we seek out Eden, even as it sinks further into virtual realms. So perhaps we can build Anarchistic mythologies, despite the constraints of large scale ideology and infrastructure, maybe it's even inevitable that "life will find a way"

I signed up to the patreon here specifically to listen to this episode. I'm wrapping up a PhD in Mesoamerican Archaeology, and I've been recommending this book to all my non-archaeologist friends. Not because it's perfect (it isn't, and tends to be one sided with evidence in places), but because it's the best popular audience book that really communicates the diversity of past societies. A *lot* of people have this view of history that sees it like a video game where you accumulate enough technology points and level up to the next stage. This book provides a great rebuttal of that. If anyone here is looking for other books that kind of get at the same idea from a more academic lens, you might check out *Chiefdoms and Other Archaeological Delusions* by Pauketat and *Myths of the Archaic State* by Yoffee. Two really influential works that have also been pushing this non-linear view of the past are *Collective Action in the Formation of Pre-Modern States* by Richard Blanton and Lane Fargher and *How Humans Cooperate* by Richard Blanton. I personally like Graeber and Wingrow's framing a little better (Blanton and Fargher tend to project liberal democratic pluralism back into the past a bit too much), but these books are aimed at a more academic audience and so are a bit more rigorous in their presentation of the data. Also the edited volume *Alternative Pathways to Complexity* by Fargher and Heredia Espenoza provides lots of good archaeological case studies that help make these cases. Love your guys' show!
