So opposed to use is the 'not-useful'. What is this? The contrary to the truly useful...like the original tit...is the exchange.... something that I possess in my hands in order to get rid of for symbolic exchange. What is the non-useful state that then implies exchange? This could be the jealousy, the frustration, and the outright anger, that the other is enjoying their suck. We see this in the new social media where the human animal tries to position the psycho-geography of their world in the terrains of possible jealousy. Are they more mobile than us? Are they community sharing to a greater extent? Are they a member or adhere to authority? Does their page imply that they are trying to create equality amongst us? ...All of these things are try...the major impulse is the fact of why they want to get rid of something and continually fabricate more elaborate sublimations for the great suck.... the food, the house, the shelter.... or the great orgasm...the completion of the animal will to survive. Many of these original impulses lead to types of neurosis and fetishes in their design of thing themselves and lifestyle. The great swim up the stream of the salmon to deposited either sperm or egg is interceded by this great jealousy...it is interceded by the great continuous suspended gratification projects of the cathedral.... of the job search...of the BMW ownership. One of my ex students who became successful in finance said that he was the youngest but his other vice presidents drove Bentleys.... he was settling for the BMW 500 class. Interesting symbolic push away from the Bentley intensive company into the idea of pure exchange: the implied gesture is that 'I am not quite or will never be one of you guys'. The ritual exchange was complete.... the not useful care lead him to the exchange of further commodities when he got older.... right now it was the Beemer.
The journey starts from pure pleasure. To? Embark? The journey to? A fall from paradise into what? The reality principle. Freud then cleverly stated that the contradictory to not pleasure principle (the warm suckle in the arms of the mother...repeated in the narcissistic lover) is actually Thanatos.... the death drive. The contrary is still the reality principle...yet the desire to quickly complete the act is there...bash yourself against the rocks of the stream and deposits your sperm. The main urge. And now we live too long. The journey can be a series of endless frustrations. ...A chain of suspended gratifications can be alleviated...orally!...through a few drags on a cigarette. The death stench...the completion...the beautiful derive...this is the Thanatos waiting to imply the reality principle. 'Below’ the original pleasure principle as the contrary is also the 'not real' of fantasy that we all contrive. Here we weave out our square...semiotic square...to make and experience the pleasure (even experienced in children who missed this) we have to embark on the great study abroad program of the real. This has/had was daddies world of guile, defense, hard and smart work...the minimum means and the maximum effect. And yet this is corroded by the death drive 'beneath'. The arrow wishes to make a complete path yet we have to go to mba schools. Our narcissistic lover disapproves of how we have constructed ourselves as a commodity. Where is the vector of satisfaction? To recognize that the trip is the arrow through the death drive...we often make much then made disappeared by the sun
