  Rest in Power, David Graeber. This is such a weird interview. Love it.

  When Graeber said there is no corruption in the United States, we've legalized it all I had to laugh out loud.

  fuckit, the guy is dead before his time. we need more people like Graeber, happy to question anything and everything, and he's gone. We should have had him around for at least another 20 years

  It was very sad when David said at the end “we are going to have to figure out some way of getting together again”

  The book Graeber mentions at around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuBpOXGLn_o&amp;t=3780">1:03:00</a> comes out later this year. I&apos;m glad it&apos;s coming out but it hurts to know that we&apos;ll never see more work and inspiring intellectualism from this guy. Such a creative person.

  What a truly brilliant mind! And what a loss for this world that David Graeber is no longer with us.

  David&apos;s story about his insight on time is something that happens to me all the time. I&apos;ll have some epiphany, and later find that there&apos;s a whole society or school of thought devoted to that very topic. Taking philosophy in college just gave a bibliography to the ideas that saturate our culture, which I had already mostly put together on my own.

  Helping front of house engineers pinpoint frequencies that are causing feedback during his interview = yet another reason why Brian Eno is a legend.

  The argument Graeber gives for recurrent universes is NOT due to Nietzsche, it is due to Poincare, and the recurrences are named &quot;Poincare recurrences&quot;.
