i don't see anything cynical about it. i think it's a pretty interesting account of how socially embedded agency operates--as highly constrained, but as tending to see through constraints rather than think recursively about them. and he's right about the consequences of this. this is not to say there's no agency--but there's no connection, logical or otherwise, between that and the theological notion of "free will."
