I liked this article. I’ve been reading some intense leftist theory lately and this is refreshingly clear.

Thank you. One of the goals of my blog is also to bridge the gap between Post-Modernist left thinking and STEM-Rationality type thinking, by writing in clear language and explaining my assumptions from first principles. Basically, I try to avoid complex jargon and avoid asserting things without explanation or examples, which I unfortunately see too often in leftist writing.

I too appreciate the clarity and structure of your writing. And the topics.

Non-consensual consent seems to me related to Heidegger’s ‘throwness’, which Google Gemini summarized as:

> In Heidegger's philosophy, "thrownness" (German: "Geworfenheit") refers to the idea that humans are passively "thrown" into existence in the world, without choosing their circumstances or having any control over their "being-in-the-world," essentially meaning we are born into a pre-existing world with a set of conditions and limitations that we did not choose; it signifies the fundamental fact that our existence is not something we actively create but rather something that has already happened to us.
