On the Kafkaesque Labyrinth.

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.
