the psyche is intrinsically constituted by its relation to infinity. This infinity is that object of infinite desire which, even though it does not exist (it is a fantasy), nevertheless consists … From the moment that American capitalism implements the “American way of life” as a new libidinal economy through the psychopower of marketing, it can only make this infinity, which is infinite desire, function by finitizing it, that is, by destroying the apparatus of production of libidinal energy and of all sublimatory byproducts. It can therefore only cause its dysfunction.

Cause I can't stand feeling nothing
I can't stand feeling old
I can't stand standing for nothing
When standing up is all I know
So why waste another day
Turning our backs and walking away
I want to feel everything
And I want to grow in every wayCastration means we are not whole, do not have everything we want, cannot be everything we might have wanted to be, cannot do everything we may have wanted to do. We are not omnipotent, omniscient, immortal beings.
