Rational choice?

You mean that you think that reality is real?

Foucault documented the systematic reality that he perceived in society,
and how the individual is a small force in the society which is controlled
various forms of power. He documents the money interests, and the
centralized mass media, along with the alpha male "empty patriarchy". He
was able to set a rational context in the irrational world.

But then what am I doing? Words are just a fanatasy, defined by the group,
and I don't own them. Even letters are just a fantasy, defined by the
group, and I can't own them.

It's called PostModerism for a reason, we've passed the modern world..
