Criptic Critic Conscience and Known for it

Tuesday, April 22, 2025

“What is sacred, isn't actually paying back debts, it's forgiveness of debts. Which was a tradition, going back to ancient Mesopotamia, debt forgiveness and the biblical jubilee, which is adopted from that, where periodically, debts are canceled. And that is a divine act. So what's divine is not paying debts, what's divine is forgiving debts; cancellation.” - David Graeber. Feb 2012
