Quantity in the Service of Desubjectification

Our society proposes pragmatic models of functioning that are excessively empirical, remove us from affect, and echo operational life. The exiled from the intimate, slaves of quantity, avoid the elaboration of loss and depression at the basis of psychological life. Our society, caught in a form of cultural unidimensionality, avoids conflict and mobilizes contradictions and paradoxes from which we need to break free by reactivating the feminine, psychic bisexuality, and active passivity.
