Yes I agree. But no one attempts to modify, change or evolve the social
model. I do not see it a static, concrete (if I was only thinking in a
concrete fashion what sort of philosopher would I be?), never changing
model or concept - no concept is. I am charging social modellist as
treating it this way. It is not critiqued or questioned (or at least
only "the fringe bits" are. No one has the guts or inclination to
question the foundations.
