the subtractive fallacy is a really tidy way to get out of actually thinking about how the world could be different
it treats everything that has happened, all the systems we've built, as necessity not contingency
you can only remove not build new things because there are no New Things, there are no new relations or ideas
they must be impractical or else we would have done them already
obviously
