the intellectual (and affective) paucity of reich wingers

Metaphysics is not the end plank, but the training site, the jungle-gym of the mind, and the more complex the scaffolding of our thinking, the more we will be able to come to terms with the world as it is. We will not fail to attempt to climb all bars of thought and to see everything from many angles.

Reich Wingers are those who suffer from a paucity of thought. No matter how many bars to climb on you supply them with, they will fail to see more than two or three. Those they will gingerly climb upon, making sure to read all of reality in terms of one or two or three of their favourite colour bars and gender bars.

You cannot expect them to say anything different -- to express anything that departs from the standardisation of these one or two or three bars. They are unwitting proponents of their own reductio ad absurdum.

Heil Texas!
