fight club
felt unsettled about whole fight/debate ness.. but adding page during intro of first debate (m of care – sept 23).. when nika said this:
nika: in the spirit of david’s rejection of academic excellence.. next one will be about nature of money.. on computer.. had file.. nightmare.. all B & academic papers.. ‘we humans are the product of our social relationship.. ‘ that’s why important to him.. fight club.. urge fighters to be emotional, provocative, bold.. if enough of us think about what debt means.. society will change.. ‘change of common sense.. and collective imagination’.. ‘transformation of common sense and how e life together’.. 10 anniv of occupy.. didn’t take over territory but it did change public discourse.. look at world differently.. michael hudson came up w many of ideas david used in book debt..
later (still working on?) this .. david on fight club

Executive functionaries would neutralize the kids who play with boxes, the voracious readers, the nature wanderers, the weavers, the astral seekers, the non-conformists.
