Yeah, fuck you neurolink. Man, you're weaving Levinas with psychoanalysis. Artwork with philosophy, astory of the self in dialectic with the other, beautiful. It is amazing
going out and getting embracing alienation on Audible, I hear there's a crazy Rascal from Theory Underground is reading it💯❤
'The Self is not a pre-existing entity but emerges through a dialectical process, a constant negotiation with what it is not. This constituent negativity, the inherent contradiction between the Self and the Other (and thus, the Identity, as the identity is rooted in the world of the Other), is not a flaw to be overcome, but the very engine of self-consciousness.' - Extremely well said. Excellent piece.
I share this sentiment. I wonder though, are we talking about what's to come or what has passed? I feel the smartphone to have already broken most of these barriers. Neural-digital interface seems more of an extension of that... Or this kind of connectivity taken to the extreme, but not so categorically different?
I want to respond to this, don't have the tume right now though. Remind me if I don't address this "soon." But yeah, the device is limiting the distance we need to be able to enter the Ethical dimension, and that's a problem, but it's not yet total!

Thank you!!!
I'm getting some mad Kierkegaard vibes:
"The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in
the relation [which accounts for it] that the relation relates itself to its
own self; the self is not the relation but [consists in the fact] that the
relation relates itself to its own self. Man is a synthesis of the infinite
and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and
necessity, in short it is a synthesis. A synthesis is a relation between
two factors. So regarded, man is not yet a self.
In the relation between two, the relation is the third term as a negative
unity, and the two relate themselves to the relation, and in the relation
to the relation; such a relation is that between soul and body, when
man is regarded as soul. If on the contrary the relation relates itself to
its own self, the relation is then the positive third term, and this is the
self.
Such a relation which relates itself to its own self (that is to say, a self)
must either have constituted itself or have been constituted by another.
If this relation which relates itself to its own self is constituted by
another, the relation doubtless is the third term, but this relation (the
third term) is in turn a relation relating itself to that which constituted
the whole relation.
Such a derived, constituted, relation is the human self, a relation which
relates itself to its own self, and in relating itself to its own self relates
itself to another. Hence it is that there can be two forms of despair
properly so called. If the human self had constituted itself, there could
be a question only of one form, that of not willing to be one’s own
self, of willing to get rid of oneself, but there would be no question of
despairingly willing to be oneself. "
