%X Fuller carries social constructionism to its bitter end in his theory of the ¡°post-truth condition¡±¡ªendemic to current life and to the entirety of Western Philosophy. According to Fuller, the gates to the elitist power/knowledge-games have been crashed by the democratic mob. Fuller implicitly extends Popper¡¯s radicalism in the philosophy of science to political and social philosophy. Rather than Popper¡¯s piecemeal social engineering for the purpose of minimizing human suffering, Fuller promotes revolutionary social change in the face of catastrophes. Fuller pushes for a ¡°proactionary¡± approach because the current vast social change refutes the fragility-assumption of Popper¡¯s ¡°risk-adverse¡± sociopolitical philosophy
