Jean Beaudillard tells us: "We confuse the fatal with the return of the
repressed (what is inescapable is desire), but the order of fatality is
antithetical to that of repression. What is inescapable is not desire,
but the ironic presence of the object, its indifference and indifferent
connections, its challenge, its seduction, and its disobedience to the
symbolic order (and therefore also of the subjects's unconscious, if he
had one). What is inescapable, in a word, is the principle of Evil."
