The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity

by David Graeber

Over the course of these chapters we have instead talked about basic forms of social liberty which one might actually put into practice: (1) the freedom to move away or relocate from one’s surroundings; (2) the freedom to ignore or disobey commands issued by others; and (3) the freedom to shape entirely new social realities, or shift back and forth between different ones.

Just as all societies have their science, all societies have their myths.

Myth is the way in which human societies give structure and meaning to experience.
