this is way above the audience. this conversation is unfortunately like talking about garbage collector algorithms in different architectures, to social science grads.
It's great to post relevant and informative links, but please do it without putting down others. If you're participating here, you're as much the community as anyone else is.
I've had that (The Burnout Society) on my to-read list for awhile, do you recommend it?
I think the core thesis is spot on from what I've seen of discussions, and am looking to decide which aspects of ambition are my own, and which have I have accepted unconsciously.
Coincidentally, I actually re-read The Burnout Society a few months ago while I was listening to The Dawn of Everything.
I strongly recommend The Burnout Society, though I think it tackles these issues from a different perspective: "how we compromise ourselves in service of the (false) personal and societal narratives we've constructed".
A more direct line to The Dawn of Everything in the sense of "how did we construct these narratives in the first place?" would probably be Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman. Coincidentally for this thread, it also includes a chapter on the results of real wolf domestication studies (and how it affects animal behaviour) in past decades.
its good but very "pop". if you're already in the matter, either deep dive on papers not books from Graeber or go to the still verry relevant source of all this, wich i consider to be Gramsci.
but in the rare case a social scientist want to lear about memory borrowing, i would also suggest somethig more recent (and less anachist to this crowd) https://ia804705.us.archive.org/13/items/byung-chul-han-the-...
