<p>Another brilliant thinker and author, James C Scott, has passed away. </p><p>I absolutely loved Seeing Like a State and plan to post a mastodon thread of excerpts and quotes from it, in his honor -- as soon as I've finished doing the same for Jane McAlevey's No Shortcuts. McAlevey passed earlier this month.</p><p>(The Art of Not Being Governed, and Two Cheers for Anarchism, are also great, but I only have the stamina for one of his books.)</p>
