but i came across a note from Greg Borenstein, &lt;a href=&quot;http://urbanhonking.com/ideasfordozens/2012/04/17/object-oriented-sci-fi-harmans-four-methods/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;about a blog post he&#039;d made on a talk by Graham Harman&lt;/a&gt;

and I&#039;d transcribed  Harman&#039;s &quot;four methods for reversing common errors in failing to see objects,&quot; and it&#039;s worth highlighting here, albeit sloppily -

A way to test things:

A. Counter-factualize: New context, absurd transposition

B. Hyperbolize: If one were king of the universe, where would I need help?

C. Pseudo Objectify: Can you use it as a model, emulate or parody it? Style or front *is* the whole; forget about its pieces

D. Falsification: Can you disassemble the object, &quot;reduce it to a set?&quot; remove the parts from ay unifying whole. Falsify or trouble  the whole, accidents do this well

&lt;a href=&quot;http://k-punk.abstractdynamics.org/archives/011434.html&quot;&gt;&quot;I&#039;m not seeing enough evidence of people allowing their political positions to be falsified.&quot;&lt;/a&gt;
