b'Our impromptu discussion last week about Jame C. Scott and dual use anthropology made us revisit a classic essay in which Malcolm Harris critically analyzes the anarcho-liberal politics advocated for by Scott. Imagine if the normative basis for your \\u201cradical\\u201d politics amounted to: throw your hands up like you just don\\u2019t care, because nothing matters anyway. We then move on to a new essay offering a thoughtful critique of sci-fi author Neal Stephenson and his latest book that centers on an anarcho-capitalist billionaire geoengineering our salvation.\\n\\nSome stuff we reference:\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Anarchish: James C.
