@SnokenKeekaGuard the only downside to this is Graeber's speaking style, which causes my brain to wander almost every time he says 'Uhm' -- which is not a bad thing, as I like my mind to wander, and his shared ideas give my brain such wonderful things to wander about.
@SnokenKeekaGuard I also find Graeber more on the same wavelength. I haven't listened or read much by Chomsky, but the bits I have heard don't always gel with my thinking on things.

Him and Chomsky both make it so tough to listen to them as speakers.
Although Graeber has a style that feels acceptable as a lecturer, just not a public speaker.

@SnokenKeekaGuard Graeber's books are on my shelf, taunting me. I'm sticking my tongue out at them, and ignoring the 'guilt' I feel about that.
The recombobulation doesn't start until tomorrow. Until the day it starts today, but that day will be sometime later. For now.

Chomsky I find isn't very well like by Europeans. But also his best work is about media. Manufacturing consent being his magnum opus.
