@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.

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 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.

@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.
