I would translate "De los gustos no hay nada escrito" as something like "As tastes go, there is nothing written in stone." Here, I perceive "escrito" as meaning decreed, set down.

You’ve taught me so much. For ex, I did not know about Graeber’s work before you.

You know what? I'd never read any of his books until after he died mysteriously. I started exploring his work because I wanted to find out why they killed him!

Sudden, unexplained death is the new Pulitzer Prize.

Totally. It’s like a beacon flashing and loudly screaming “THIS PERSON WAS OVER TARGET!”

His (and your) breakdown of “money” and “value” is brilliant. (I don’t like that word - “brilliant” - being tossed around casually but in this case it’s appropriate - because it’s accurate.)

Not overhyped at all. This is SO FUCKING IMPORTANT for more people to fully understand. People who are waking up to reality on earth may have a sense of (some of) this stuff but they have not read and thought through it like you. They would not even know where to begin.

Thanks! Do you I overhyped it? I think the part at the end might be one of my most valuable insights, although to be fair, it wasn't truly my idea.
