Of course not. Humans always behave in the most rational, self-interested, and nondestructive fashion. Can't imagine what Slavoj had in mind. Nor can I imagine what Wallace Stevens meant when he wrote that line about finding himself "more truly and more strange."

Why the question mark? Is that strange rhetorical behavior? Of course not - humans never behave strangely (and call their own assertions into question with a misplaced punctuation mark).
