    I have to be a little rude to get into it, but yes. I am familiar with material historical analysis, im also familiar with a number of other modes of historical analysis and i absolutely fucking never rely on just one.

            The world is full of mysteries and the job of an analyst, materialist or not, is to solve those mysteries. Maybe ask yourself what one might actually glean from a person using phrenological tools and methods......

                    There are so many people who wish to remove methods of analysis from our collective understanding that I often whip out one of these canceled disciplines as an example of how scientific disciplines come and go as the scientific consensus is repeatedly fucked and born anew. Personally I ignore erasure-heads and take any analysis that yields a working theory.
