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.
