Is anything more hurtful than someone criticizing your worldview – your symbolic order – without explaining her critique in terms of your symbolic order?

You can only sputter, “You do not make sense.”  Not in my Lebenswelt, that is.  And in that sputter, comes some spittle, a scattering spray of defensive thoughts, claiming that the critical utterer is informed by a twisted ideology and inspired by demonic motives.

If you are lucky, someone has already organized your thoughts, so all you have to do is act shocked and deny the critique.

The accusing corpse has already been refuted by the symbolic order, even though the accuser is dead.
