it’s an intersectional reductionism which dissolves your “identity” into a set of labels that map a vector in a feature space. this same vector represents what political campaigns and ads we send you it’s quite explicit

Indeed. But generally speaking, thinking of things like labels and cultural bucketing heuristics (the poor, the 1%, the 99%, etc.) as vectors mapping a feature space. And then the fact that the feature space they live in lives in a continuum between the map and the territory.

you are committing a hypostasis which mistakenly thinks it can penetrate space and time itself. it is fixed by reading Rorty
