As I see it, this is what the entire discussion is about. David holds
rationality close to his heart and is unwilling to part with it. Both
level 3 and Post-Structuralism, as you've explained it, are about
removing our identity from the ideas and beleifs that we hold. Making
our selves aware that they are /just/ ideas (memes), world views, and
that really we can -- if not rise above them then -- become aware of
the limitations of our own views. And then proceed to use other world
views when necessary.
