RIP David, a hell of a thinker and good dude. Take a shot every time he grabs his coffee and doesn't drink it.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZIINXhGDcs&t=3576">59:36</a><br><br>He took his sip. That was madding. Its a great video. It's a shame Graeber passed away so young, dude totally had at least 10 more book in him. But he doesn't owe any of us a damn thing.

<i>_David Graeber drinking game rules_</i><br>- Every time he picks his coffee up and puts it down without drinking anything, take a sip.<br>- If he picks up his coffee and actually drinks it, down your drink.<br>- When the talk finishes, everyone toasts. Rest in power, you beautiful boy.

"His loss is incalculable, but his legacy is immense." I love returning to this video every now and again.

His coffee mind-games are strong, but his analysis of debt is stronger!

I love the point he made on how people who are equals, forgive debts to each other, but as soon as the debt cross class boundaries it suddenly become life-or-death. It explains the bank bailouts so perfectly.

RIP David. One of the greatest thinkers of our time.

I'm wondering if perhaps he has already finished the coffee before he started, reaches for it because he wants a drink, then realizes that it's empty, over and over.

Around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZIINXhGDcs&t=1860">31:00</a> he basically explains how legal systems emerging out of violence probably created the first things akin to "money" and "currency" and how this subsequently also explains the strong moral power of debt itself.
