A fantastic piece that teases threads to be followed and doesn't pull any punches in critique of traditional academia. His exposition of the historical synergies between anarchism and anthropology was quite a delightful read, although ironically it left me wanting to read Graves, more so than any actual anarchist or anthropologist.

The concepts of the Identity Machine and Liberation in the Imaginary struck a chord with me, similar in vein to when I read Capitalist Realism by Fisher. It's scary how we don't realize how much of our imagination is limited by the current order, how we do not permit ourselves to even think that things could be otherwise.
