This book is so accessibly written it’s noteworthy just for that. Too often academics seem to be trying to ration access to their insights by covering them in jargon and complication. Not here. This book reminded me of how much more unlearning everyone will have to do when they leave school: it’s not just science that will make so much of our time there obsolete but history also. A good argument for reorienting education around the internet and works like this and away from textbooks and classrooms so resistant to the flexibility demonstrated by the two Davids.

In my view, we tell the story of the «savage» because it gives us the right to colonize. Our God, our politics, our society is superior and gives us the right to rule. If we respect other humans and believe we have to treat them like equals, we would have no right to kill other people, take their land or enslave them. By telling another story we would have to see the «Devil» in ourselves.

You couldn't believe how many times I've been through the pages of this book. Mesmerizing.<br>The greatest trip of all is the one you make with your mind.

this is funny., i appreciate how David managed to continue on despite being interrupted and constrained by time almost as a way of demonstrating and teaching ‘social resistance to time-keeping and capital’

DAVID WAS AN ORIGINAL THINKER AND A THREAT!

"If there's going to be any kind of society worth living in, we're going to have to create it ourselves." And it's always been those who realized and internalized and fought for this that made life worth living. Which we, the beneficiaries, take for granted. But we can't rest on our laurels. That struggle is permanent. A fact of the world worth living in is the fight to mold it.
