What do you need citation for? Why can't my observation about the discussion from adherents of post modern philosophy today be basis for discussion on hacker news? Or do your thought need citation for your thoughts? Sure my thoughts are derived from someone else. For example Donald Hoffmans - The case against reality ... Do I need to cite it to make my disbelief that it is only power structures and there is no evolutionary basis for our power structures.

For your claims about the so called "adherents of post modern philosophy" ? And Donald Hoffman seems to be a pretty good example of them ? "Evolution literally hides the truth from us on purpose." https://www.socsci.uci.edu/newsevents/news/2019/2019-07-22-hoffman-reality.php https://www.socsci.uci.edu/newsevents/news/2019/2019-07-22-h... (Thanks by the way, I have been dabbling in visual sciences myself, will have to get his books now.)

  Well he might be a post modernist in the literal sense but as the entry point to this discussion is about power structures on how they might have gotten it right. But what I see is people having things backwards with e.g. the corruption of biology by the power structures, it is backwards the powerful abuse our biology against us with e.g. compulsion loops that are proven by neorology with dopamnine system. The power structures didn't create the dopamnine system an its role in creating addictions, but the power structures uses and/or abuses that knowledge. For example we have the post modern field of "fat studies" where they blame society for having power structures against their body size. Which is exactly the wrong way. The powerstructure is there to make them unhealthy because they make a profit of using humans evolutionary craving for high-caloric foods against them. That view point is totally discounted that the whole "healthy at every size" plays right in the hands of the powerful not the powerless.
