September 23 – Hosted dialogues
October 19, 2020
By Methuseli Dube
This was an eventful call: thank you to everyone who attended for making it a fun discussion. This post will offer a quick summary of resources and links that where brought up throughout the meeting.
For this meeting we had several topics created from last week’s discussion about antifragility and resilience, namely:
- Social infrastructure
- Further discussion on resilience and antifragility
- Racism
We decided to blend the topics as many of them connect in one way or another. I will offer a summary of some of the links that were shared, but I would highly recommend taking a look for yourselves.

- David Graeber, an author and anthropologist, wrote a fascinating book entitled Debt: The First 5,000 Years that explores credit and debt from a historical perspective.
