0050 Okay, the ostrich, the parasite and the syndrome of the postmodern academy_1c wants to illuminate the darkness of the system_1b.

But, doesn’t it take one to know one?

Oops, that is a saying straight out of the now-suppessed handbook of orthodox views_1a.

That brings me back to what the ostrich does not want to see.

Or, should I say, “What does the ostrich not want everyone else not to see.”?

Professor Saad strives to describe what the ostrich does not want everyone else to see. 

0051 What does the ostrich not want everyone else to see?

I suspect that this evolutionary scientist sees the following virtual nested form in the category of secondess.

0052 While the items in the realm of potential are topics for discussion in the new academy, the elements in the realm of actuality can be observed and measured on postmodern college campuses throughout Western civilization.  The normal context of a privileged status for those who are oppressed_2c virtually brings the dyadic actuality that some identify as oppressed and some are identified as oppressor_2b into relation with the potential of persons engaging in a personal choices_2a.

0053 Does this mesh with Saad’s label, “ostrich parasitic syndrome”?

0054 In terms of gender, one’s personal choice_2a reveals the relevance of one’s human will_1a in the normal context of social construction_3a.  Personal choice_2a is a syndrome that transcends (even as it bans) the most obvious symptoms of biological sexual dimorphism in humans_1a (that is, men and women_2a).

Syndromes are clusters of symptoms.  Orthodox views_3a label syndromes_1a as products, not of human will_1a, but ofcertain underlying material or instrumental causes_1a.  In the frame of science, these causes are biological.  In the frame of philosophy, these causes are discussed in terms of natural laws.  Natural laws correlate syndromes with underlying causalities.

So, fixation on personal choice_2a is a syndrome, from the orthodox points of view of science and philosophy, which are not to be regarded in the College of Social Construction.

0055 In terms of gender, males are identified as oppressors_2b and females are identified as oppressed_2b.  A critical theory_3b assists identification_2b on the basis of the potential of a system_1b.  For gender, the system_1b is labeled, “the patriarchy”_1b.

0056 What is a parasite?

A parasite feeds off its host.

If I look at oppressor and oppressed, I can ask the question, “Who is the parasite and who is the host.”

Obviously, the oppressor feeds off the oppressed.

0057 But, the actual relation is the opposite.

I ask, “If the parasite can choose to be a parasite and the host cannot choose its fate, then how does choice_2a align with the actualities_2b of critical theory_3b?”

Well, the female may voluntarily associate to the label of “oppressed”_2b and the male has no choice but to accept the label of “oppressor”_2b.  Voluntary association with the oppressed_2b virtually situates the content-level actuality of personal choice_2a.  Rejection of the label of “oppressor”_2b directly situates the resisting involuntary with complicity with the system_1b theorized by critique_3b.

This implies that the so-called “oppressor”_2b is the host and the self-identifying “oppressed”_2b is the parasite.

0058 Let me say that again.

Contrary to the obvious conclusion, the self-identifying “oppressed”_2b are parasitic upon their involuntarily identified “oppressors”_2b.

The question now becomes, “What substance does the parasite draw from its host?”

0059 One answer is apparent in the normal context_2c for the virtual nested form in the realm of actuality.

The oppressed_2b draws priveleged status_2c from the oppressor_2b. 

Of course, this answer cannot be admitted.

Hence, the metaphor of “ostrich” applies.
