Farewell to Humanity’s Childhood :: The Dawn of Everything, Chapter 1

Update: 2023-02-08

Description

We return! In our new season we are reading The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber & David Wengrow, a fascinating and controversial book of anthropology and social theory.

There's enough groundwork laid in Chapter 1 to make this episode a longer one than we're used to releasing. We hope you find it stimulating.

NEW: We've started a Discord community in case folks are interested in more discussion around the books and ideas we engage with. Join us!

Featured music: "Stars Sewn Into Our Skies" by Big Blood. "That Glow in the Morning" by Sarah Louise.
