Subject: the cowboy request: "Real World"?
> What exactly is the "real world" (which would be opposed to a "fake
> world")? I thought intellectuals and others worked through that
> sometime ago (and some are still, today, deeply rethinking it and the
> ramifications of it). I guess not.

> It seems not everyone is caught up with the past several decades of
> theoretical and philosophical interventions -- of various kinds -- in
> the fictions of a this "real world," to say, without hesitation,
> pause, or the like "real world" -- of course one can believe whatever
> makes one feel secure, but without qualification or a nod to the
> complexities of such a "simple" statement? I guess there are some who
> still believe in the fiction, the artifice of a "real" and "fixed"
> world that is unproblematic. To be sure, desire for the "real" is,
> indeed, a strong, desire, no doubt ...
