Why were post-modernists so obsessed with cocks and poop?
>calculation and functionality must be viewed as a phallic order linked to the enterprise
whose goal is the supersession and transformation of the given and the opening
up of new objective structures; but it is at the same time a faecal order founded on
an abstraction or quintessence meant to inform a homogeneous material world, on
the measuring off and division of material reality, on a great anal aggressiveness
sublimated into play, discourse, ordering, classifying and placement.

Pretentious would-be intellectuals are almost always obsessed with sex.

There's no point in explaining to you how Baudrillard was closest to Marx out of his contemporaries on this point. I don't care about your meta. If you want a thought experiment I'll offer you one. If hyperreality poses a recurve threat to various religious practices then it also poses a similar threat to postmodern discourse. For this thread it can be called the hollow penis and loose stool problem. Discourse for the purposes of truth are ruled out by design in postmodernism, this is part of the sign for it, you already have it so by virtue of making this post you also have a hollow penis and loose stool. For nonsignatories the postmodernists of old hunted them like the last buffalo, all the way to extinction with faux and perceived castration rituals and humiliation rites and all of that garbage. The issue is that once the sign is pervasive then there has to be acknowledgement there is no point to postmodern discourse since all phallus are hollow and all stools loose. This only spreads the recurve effect, now discredited Freudian theories get to resurface in the form of feminists sourcing authority from misogynists. The permutations are endless, you could have male feminists pretending to be overbearing mothers to other males, females claiming male certainty over animals, the list goes on indefinitely. Every forum of postmodern discourse devolves into this at some point.

Lacan caused inestimable damage to the world by decorating structuralism with Freudian terminology.
