I've seen this talk (must be alot of work to transcribe it; and i'm sort of
writing something on this topic, and am aware of graeber's views )

In my area we have something we call the 'virus' (or the V (for victory)  I
r U.S.   --- one for all   ).

How many 'maintainers' are essential workers and how many are
innessential?  I have seen some suggestions that some anthropologists,
economists, fashion models, wine tasters, McDonald's hamburger cooks and
cleaners, musicians and mathematicians and artists, and museum curators and
securty guards, and web ad programmers,  are inessential.    Or perhaps
they are the 'rare' essence of the universe.
