Julio Cortazor a fav…. When you said: “He has gone beyond the finitude of his existence. He becomes altogether immobile, merely an observer, watching people, life, opportunities, and time pass by. Eventually he becomes imperceptible. Here and now everything is continually changing towards becoming-imperceptible. Time turns something into nothing. Everything is in time only for a short period of time. Then everything disappears in a neutral and full light.” I kept thinking of Zizek’s:

“The basic temporal paradox of the fantasy consists precisely in this ‘nonsensical’ temporal short-circuit whereby the subject qua pure gaze so to speak precedes itself and witnesses its own origin” : this is that reduction to nothingness, the subtraction that reduces us out of the equation either to the point of inception (birth) or finality (death) where we see the One become two… and, yet, there never was a One! The incongruence of this paradox is the moment we discover the failure of the Real as the gap or black hole that allows us who are nothing and no-one to fill the Void between the voids beyond the death drive.
