A pervert is one that keeps it in the open, opts to attend directly to their own miseries.

A melancholic mourns the loss of the object even when it is still present.

Lacanian objet a = a blind spot in a painting : exclusion is characteristic of our vision of reality. By utilizing a Lacanian description of reality based on inherent exclusion, doesn't it make reality irreparably severed from wholeness? By defining reality based in desire (loss) do we not perpetuate a perpetual state of desire?

What we desire - what object // What makes us want to desire that object :: The shadow of separation descends to evaporate the object

Augmented reality keeps us oriented towards reality.

As opposed to cinema? Virtual reality? Concerning vision, speed, ideology?

The moment we engage in an argument (about rape for example) we have already lost: we require more radical dogmatism. The myriad small unspoken rules, silently carried out, maintain the social reality and reinforce social ideology. Visible transgressions = surplus enjoyment that keeps the structure together. To be part of a community is to participate in these transgressions.

Later: so many times the same question, a tautology of asking of what and for whom we must remain suspended perpetually in a state of struggle, without consideration of other worlds or entities. Why should I/we remain so patient before an ontology which disregards and destroys all attempts to think alternatively? For what and for whom? One answer: to strengthen my arguments, root them in sources, to at least be able to know what we are working against, but still the lingering question of why. Philosophy should be the posing of the question, to be a process of opening up to greater possibilities, refraining (knowing better) than to pose answers too firm or concrete. I must remember this is not philosophy, it seems to be something else... the usefulness of the experience will be in gaining the ability to say what exactly we are working with. Still, I must fortify against the confusion that this is all there is or could ever be. This is not my reservation, not my position, not my conviction.
