They were followed by an enthusiastic open-floor discussion. Major ideas that came up were: human beings as a geological force, the wide adoption of modernity, the merits of 'planet' vs 'globe', history's human-ward tilt, and the appropriateness of the anthropocene as a new epoch

Some of Scott's key contributions including the notion of everyday resistance and the centrality of taxation in the quest of the state to render societies legible have also been commented upon during the session.

The session, chaired by @George_Ohh, saw a critical engagement with the book's primary thesis that states simplify and force 'legibility' on local societies, ignoring valuable localised knowledges in the process.
