TL;DR
It is my hypothesis that the initial impulsion for a person to become stuck in thinking in terms of Latour’s ‘fact’ or ‘fairy’ position (see excerpt above) derives from a person’s experience of Freud’s Oedipus complex during childhood.
The fairy position comes from a (male) child disliking his mother, but feeling inexplicably drawn to her nonetheless (by the Oedipus complex which forces him to love/desire his mother .)
urgh
@ graber thing "the selfish gene" is a shit unscientific idea that I am NOT FINE with
like the rest of leftism?
its cute how you downvote without responding. there's no actual evidence behind "welfare doesn't increase poverty" or any other leftwing theory.

i always kind of enjoyed it--mostly because i'm very interested in finding exceptions to the rule--but the insight that takes all these homo-economus type assumptions without a word is very very interesting

We are literally children. Literally. In fact, we are such children that an OP containing a pseudo-academic post-feminist analysis of the latest CONEC video will get you almost twenty pages of replies. Here at LF, we see a theoretical sociopolitical significance in practically everything that exists on this gay earth.
Meanwhile, a concise yet informative OP that attempts to initiate a decent discussion of the great sociologist THOMAS SOWELL will get only seven replies before quickly falling off the first page. Here at LF, we don't see much value in stuff that actually matters IRL. We would much rather start megathreads about cum, anime, and (if you're lucky) Stalin and Maoism Third Worldism.
You see, here at LF, we think that anything short of Stalinist purges or Islamist takeover is for liberal pansies who are just as bad (if not worse) than Hitler.
A: Sounds to me like this LF place is for people who either care about the wrong things or have totally impractical extremist solutions to modern-day global problems.
Q: See, that's exactly what I was getting at.
A: Just kidding. I could care less about your dumb FYAD-lite subforum.
Q: Welp. I guess that's that. Delete LF. (I mean that unironically and without any doubt that this is what's best for the people who post there, and the world at large.)
