On the Kafkaesque Labyrinth.
Derrida proved that all language is open to the most absurd
[note the lower-case] of interpretations, and any “Truth” can become fixed
logocentrically the moment that one chooses to become dismissive. The whole
inquiry as it occurs becomes self-referential (contrary to Fromm’s project to
direct the LIBIDO out-wards) as the patient becomes aware of her own
incoherence – in the eyes of the inhumane Analyst. As the situation gains in
Kafkaesque complexity, in its Byzantine Daedalean labyrinth of
mis-interpretations, the attempt made by the individual to assert her humanity
is to behave irrationally, experimentally. Yet unfortunately the general public
has no interest in the artistic expressions of a madman; they fear it because
they see the horror of their own injustice reflected within it.
The irrational disorder completes the other half of Camus’
triangle. Yet the disorder does not belong to the neurotic, who of course (like
many suicidal cases, using Gloria from V.A.L.I.S. and my own friend Jennifer as
an example) is totally rational. [“Rationally insane”, as Dick expressed it.]
The disorder is the fault of the World: Those Analysts and lay-critics who
create the Absurd tension between her own Rational attempts to be perceived as
a human being (as opposed to as an object, which would be a step down the
ladder, both objectively* and subjectively**) and their own irrational (though
of course, to their minds, as Camus described, Rational) ignorance and bigotry.
