@RidgeLunatic @davidwengrow @ThatChrisRyan I believe I noted they were asking £30 for a 2 page book review & asked if there was anyone in the world who actually paid such fees. It’s a little like when the algorithm on Amazon goes nuts & you discover (as a friend once did) they’re charging $18,378.00 for your book

@l_u_n_a13 @kellydanc @davidwengrow @ThatChrisRyan well ultimately it usually aims at the work/play distinction itself. Not the idea that no one should ever put patience and effort into accomplishing or making something. Kind of thought that was obvious but I guess I shouldn’t assume.

@Timlagor @fake__monkey @dominichills5 well yes that does appear to be the key issue: in the US the government spending that generates the greatest economic activity is food stamps. The less needy the people who get the money, the more likely they’ll just speculate.

@davidwengrow @ThatChrisRyan to clarify: Sahlins is right that foragers were on the whole affluent compared to people now, but affluence could take many forms: e.g., many Californians saw industriousness as a value in itself, many NW Coast societies valued artistic material excess…

@ThatChrisRyan @davidwengrow I think he meant, didn’t survive _as_ foragers, though a lot of the Californians & Australians were indeed wiped out by genocidal settlers.

@RedrichLFC @JennoRon Notice the cop moves: a non-cop would actually ask or try to find out who he was dealing with rather than making these idiotic authoritative-sounding pronouncements

Fri 28 Aug 2020 09:42

@RedrichLFC @JennoRon I have written and published extensively on Labour politics. You give no evidence of knowing or understanding anything. Your bluff is called. If there’s anything more tiresome than a wannabe cop it’s an incompetent one
