I believe it was Antonin Artaud who called Lacan a "filthy, vile 
bastard."  It was also Artaud who materialized himself as his own 
father, son, mother and Self.  Basically, he realized that he owned his 
own cunt.

Only the true and courageous _mergent_ speaks: the one who throws all 
ideas, conceptions, and identity safety-nets of sexuality and gender to 
the dispersing wind.  To speak from a primal camp of belonging is to 
dissolve like an Alka-Seltzer tablet: the one who drinks you will shit 
easily.

For it is the feminine element who gave birth to Primal Man; who 
established the _fetish_ of longevity.  A man reaches back to Woman -- 
but to whom does Woman reach back?

This is a slippery subject ...

When identity is at stake there is always tedious circumscription.  But 
dependence is a movement of creative effort akin to that of a conductor 
and an orchestra ...

I was tempted to write "his orchestra," but indeterminacy is the 
possibility of birth ... the seedling of convulsion in ... well, in 
CHAOS ... isn't that right?
