It appears Wark is trying to charge you with an appeal to futility fallacy.
For clarity, I don't think it usually happens, but one person can change the world. I think what usually happens is that the ground changes, the vista of ideas shift unconsciously over time, sometimes through technological advancement, other times through the weight of past ideas crashing against each other. People born into the later system will naturally pick up ideas that challenge the formerly held 'natural' positions of the past, although both past and present ideas are usually founded on unconscious premises.
Can one person change the world? Yes. Is it likely? No. Did I make any argument ever in the history of my life connected with that idea either for or against a position? I genuinely don't believe so.
Incidentally, typing in 'futility fallacy' into Google netted me a top search for a fucking men's rights advocacy forum! :roll:
