The World Is Not Dialectical - It

To Love Someone Is To Isolate Him From The World, Wipe Out Every Trace Of Him, Dispossess Him Of His Shadow, Drag Him Into A Murderous Future. It Is To Circle Around The Other Like A Dead Star And Absorb Him Into A Black Light.

Here In The U.s., Culture Is Not That Delicious Panacea Which We Europeans Consume In A Sacramental Mental Space And Which Has Its Own Special Columns In The Newspapers - And In People's Minds. Culture Is Space, Speed, Cinema, Technology. This Culture Is Authentic, If Anything Can Be Said To Be Authentic.

The Very Definition Of The Real Becomes: That Of Which It Is Possible To Give An Equivalent Reproduction. The Real Is Not Only What Can Be Reproduced, But That Which Is Always Already Reproduced. The Hyper Real.

The Surprises Of Thought Are Like Those Of Love: They Wear Out. But Here Too You Can Carry On For A Long Time Doing Your Conjugal Duty.

Welcome To The Desert Of The Real.
