I call it the "denial loop", where a creator in a capitalist system keeps saying "this is the last one" but then keeps getting made to do more.
Mfw capitalists "invent" edging like they invented "quiet quitting"
Can’t remember the exact Graeber quote, but it’s something like, “Once you’ve had success, the system will conspire to make sure you do nothing else ever again.”
I believe he was speaking about how his success with Bullshit Jobs almost precluded him from moving on to Debt.
i can't speak to whence graeber said that, but it is not possible that his success with BS Jobs precluded him from moving on to Debt, as Debt was published long before.
Maybe they meant The Dawn of Everything, his final book.
that would make more sense, they probably meant that yeah
I could have been wrong about the context in either direction. I’ve heard him say it multiple times during his talks. Might have been his Google talk?
for sure, i think i've also heard him say that before. i was just being unnecessarily pedantic about his publication order. you're all good.
