Graeber, quoted in the interview linked by WB2 below: "[in many societies throug
hout history] it's really important to remain in debt to people because debt in
a way is sociology, it is social relationships....There are plenty of societies
where people are giving each other gifts but you always give them back something
a little bit more or a little bit less than they gave you because if you give t
hem an exact equivalent you're really saying I don't want to have anything to do
with you any more."

Thank you for that link! I checked the book out of the library and don't have a
copy handy to refresh my memory on some key points.

Observation.
Imagine 'botf' as a society.
And then think of the comment of overpaying or underpaying instead of exactly pa
ying the debt, in order to have a reason to remain tethered to your transaction
partner.
This is exactly what we do here. Our tribal instincts (but with posts instead of
chickens and goats).
[e.g. Leg-iron (felt) overpaid you for your post, later felt bad and apologized
for it (i.e. the obligation he left you). Snolly (felt) he underpaid, showed a m
ild bit of embarrassment. etc.]
Or not. You know ..
