YES, LACK OF AGENCY DRIVES POSTMODERN THOUGHT
—“The postmodernists say that agency is a comforting falsehood. How does one adjudicate between you and them?”— John Tangney
They are correct – for them. Agency is demonstrably the entire problem. And postmodernists, feminists, women, and the underclass are completely correct: they don’t have it. On the other hand, enough ‘men’ do if trained in what IS (the conservative empirical) rather than what SHOULD BE (the consumptive ideal), to govern in everyone’s interests despite the lack of agency by the vast majority of peoples.
The question is why someone some group or some class would consider rule if one was in fact lacking agency — and worse, if both lacking agency and f–king aware of it.

by Ahmed Reda
The enlightenment – or rather – the continuous evolution of western man from blacksmith to aristotle, to hume, to darwin et all, is produced by the incremental suppression of comforting falsehoods that imprison us in lack of agency. -Doolittle
*NEVER FORGET THAT Rousseau, Kant and the Continentals were the Abrahamist reaction against Hume’s resurrection of Greek reason.

—“Chinese scientist who claims gene-edited babies — goes missing.”—
ie: gene edited babies, free of HIV, were fake news.
(all chinese science is largely fake news. Low trust culture, low trust economy, low trust polity, produces low trust science.)

JUSTIFICATION FOR GROUPING
—“The Abrahamic program’s second revision (Marx, Freud, Boaz, Cantor, Mises, Rothbard, Strauss) has been catastrophic. “—CD
—“That’s a pretty unintuitive grouping, what’s the justification for it?”— Trent Fowler
Method of argument. Just like we have math, logic, rationalism (formal, kantian), empirical, and scientific, we also have sophistry(pseudo-rationalism), pseudoscience, and mysticism. The abrahamic method turns out to be as perfect a method of lying as the scientific method is of telling the truth.
So, the abrahamic method consists of (but is not limited to ) (a) false promise (b) baiting moral hazard (c) creating opportunity for parasitism or undermining, (d) using Pilpul (sophism, justificationism), Critique (straw manning criticism without supplying operationally possible alternatives,), Heaping undue praise, and reputation destruction, by means of loding, framing, suggestion, overloading, psychologizing, moralizing, half truths and outright deceits.
Now, I’ve spent a lot of time on it, but you have to ask yourself, why, if mathematical, logical, empirical, operational, rational, reciprocal, arguments with tests of scope, completeness, and coherence exist, why it would be that you would argue by any other means.
I suspect you’re referring to either mises or rothbard, and the work is here if you want to go through it (as well as hoppe).

We understand perfectly well why you choose equalitarianism over kin selection – at an unrecoverable cost to your kin. They are not worthy of your doing otherwise.
The most important choices in history are those that increase or decrease kin.
