Just as this book sneaks in numerous baseless assumptions:

>If human morphology/ upright posture/ and the possibility of language/ are the ramified accidents of natural history/ then psychic ailments are ultimately afflictions of the spine/ which itself is a scale model of biogenetic trauma/ a portable map of the catastrophic events that shaped that /atrocity exhibition of evolutionary traumata/ the sick orthograde talking mammal/

You're trying to conflate different trends on this board.

Yet, what happens if we start picking apart this long structure of presumptions piled upon presumption (and those aren't the only ones in the synopsis, just an unbroken chain of varying layers of discourse being assumed and used to justify further assumptions)? Anything divided by the slashes into its, to abuse the metaphor further, assumed vertebrae could be refuted, and without any one of them the integrity of the spine metaphor, just like a spine without vertebrae is no longer contiguous, is unable to support itself. A hell of a lot of the, to use one of your examples, 'incel Christianity' on this board has more rigour than that.
