 “…less  than  at  any  6me  does  a  simple  reproduc6on  of  reality  tell  us  anything  about  reality.  Reality  proper  has  slipped  in  to  the  func6onal.  The  reifica6on  of  human  rela6onships,  the  factory  let’s  say,  no  longer  reveals  those  rela6onships.  Therefore,  something  has  actually  to  be  constructed,  something  ar6ficial,  something  set  up.”
