If you wish to contend the following please attend the title.
Consider the hypothesis that knowledge degenerates into religion. What religion does, then, to language, or what happens with language - without, or in failure of, the Archimedean Point - that creates religion which always threatens punishment for non-participants.
This is how we can forget the Oedipal as anything other than the resulting salience in closed systems, isolated communities that reproduce that isolation to the family unit. This has form, since it was Ahknaten's very mark on the Nile Kingdom lineage. It is, that isolation, a probable, it is that, rarity in life, early life. We cannot escape the biblical motifs and question their utility to the design, the aim, of the texts. That, too, I leave to you to explore.
What is borne of the use of the Oedipal motif, or metaphor as Lacan more usefully accedes is the only thorough apparency, is the SuperEgo. Usually that would suffice as explanation of all, at least in proposing that comparative religion - and recall the ur-text to Derrida's journey - finds recognition of what supposedly would not be found by common observation (as opposed to wise deliberation) and give humanity to some common need for religion.
This, in Derrida and Graeber especially, launches from Levi-Strauss a systematic mapping of life guided by fiduciary talk. No less the Chatter that Heidegger, and now Habermas, despises does emerge as this same accountancy. Presently, if not Pokemon Go grouping, the Selfie explosion (consider the Daesh documents for the injection of explosivity).
How is this possible?
I was going to introduce this by riffing on Jeremy Corbyn's Trident renewal remark, that he did not "believe" it was "legitimate". However I haven't the energy at this time in this piece. In sum he cannot have International Law without accepting UK Law, which has no constitution, no comparable match with codification. Further that law, the one on targetting civilians, depends on war having been declared. Not a guaranteed event in the event of a State using weapons. This obvious, there is, so to speak an extra or pre marital bastard, if this law is a wedding, a polygamous marriage of States...
Let's go to the SuperEgo.
First an anecdote. I slightly conversed with a JS Mill worshipping NHS worker (an orderly, or even a nurse and possibly a junkie). Their sadistic way of coping was astonishing, though now I fear quite ubiquitous. The conversation somehow was on penal practices, crime exactly I expect. As ever I was pushed, as the one who can be critical, to provide a better means of destroying the habits of those injurious to that Millian horde, us if not you. Unrelenting, inarticulable because entirely physical, ecstatic pleasure. That was my answer. Knowing the mind finds no state of nature as ones own mind is all one can return to. And so much intense pleasure soon becomes a burden to regain oneself enough to be someone at all. This would attract the pre-criminal. This would not be a challenge. We know so little of so much, we know so much of that little that is pure inarticulable pleasure. Exquisite in the vernacular. Especially that of Vienna.
You are now prepared with all you need to know you need to know for the main argument, or theory, that follows on.
