Loaded Questions

Loaded Questions are not strictly fallacies, but are as if meta-existential to the fallacies: suggestions of what forces of power and control exist hidden inside or outside, before, behind, above, below things-as-agents.

Loaded questions are why and how questions in determination of what is. They are anti-meaning and all about agency. They are not what something is questions, meaning questions, but are in determination of their operational value or the extent that they "exist."

Loaded questions are rhetorical bolts as if magic being cast from some mystical esoteric realm (e.g. infinity meta) by "transcendent-thinking" wizards to put an agent in its proper place in the technocracy.
