David Graeber (1961 - 2020) was an acclaimed anarchist and anthropologist. He helped organize the initial Occupy Wall Street protest and was credited with helping to develop the slogan “We are the 99%.” Graeber was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics and author of "Debt: The First 5000 Years" (2011), "The Utopia of Rules" (2015), and "Bullshit Jobs: A Theory" (2018).

The liberally educated person is one who is able to resist the easy and preferred answers, not because he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy of consideration.

Allan Bloom (Ph.B. 1949, A.M. 1953, Ph.D. 1955)

The individual within the collective is never, or hardly ever, conscious of the prevailing thought style which almost always exerts an absolutely compulsive force upon [their] thinking, and with which it is not possible to be at variance.

Ludwik Fleck, The Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact (1979)

Something i really appreciate about the place I grew up is the ability to escape people

How do you know yourself if you're always focused on socialization?

So many victims of abuse become abusers because of the vultures that circle victims. There are people who specifically look for the vulnerably traumatized to screw over and frame. If this happens enough times in a tow or severely enough, they will send the victim into a spiral.

Then there is almost no one to save them and most people who get sent down this path are left to die alone whether it is by some type of mental health crisis or just in isolation.

I have had a hard time seeing the good in this world as I have experienced and witnessed certain people being marked as disposable punching bags.

AND God help you if you're a pretty woman who gets put on this road by life. It feels like being the only one living a zombie apocalypse so you can't even form a solid set of allies (because it seems like everyone is the zombies looking to digest you for their own benefit/satisfaction)
