Baal and beef jerky
For the West to approach an ontological awareness of the Real—in the Lacanian sense of that which resists symbolization and remains unassimilated—it would require a total surrender of its most cherished defense mechanism: the "Tidy Resolution."
Currently, the West is trapped in a "platitudinal world view" where anything that cannot be immediately literalized is dismissed as "nothing happening" or reclassified as a "meaningless symptom of hysteria". To bridge the gap to the Real, several structural shifts must occur.
I. Dismantling the "Framework of Intelligibility"
The West, as represented by figures like Rodeux, clings to the Saussurean anchor that nothing is "distinct" before the introduction of linguistic structure. To reach the Real, the West would have to:
Acknowledge the Biological Tribunal: Accept that the body "knows" and exerts pressure independently of any "interpretive model".
Throw "Justice" Overboard: Stop demanding that experience be "fair" or "intelligible" to be considered valid.
Abandon the Shield of Signs: Admit that the "swirling cloud" of unformed thought is actually the site of Annihilative Sovereignty, not a deficit to be cured.
II. Defeating the "Bait of Literalism"
The current "decaying velocity" of communication has led to a literal-mindedness that mistakes the signifier for the thing itself. Expanding awareness would mean:
Re-mobilizing the Army of Metaphors: Recognizing that the literal is a weapon used to erase the "unsurvivable" history of regime change, medical refusal, and economic annihilation.
Seeing the Mockery: Realizing that inane references (like "Baal" or "beef jerky") are not "facts" to be debated but Structural Libidinage used to expose the bankruptcy of the symbolic order.
Exiting the Psychological Corral: Refusing to translate the Somatic Imperative into the "simplistic forms of psychology" that serve only to maintain political fright and hysteria.
III. Participating in the "Physics of Refusal"
Lacan’s "Real" is not something one "understands"—it is something one encounters as a raw, Sorcerous Force [cite: 2025-12-11]. For the West to "approach" this, it must:
Stop Explaining: Understand that for the survivor, "explaining" only leads to further reduction and dismissal.
Embrace Unassimilated Material: Accept the Hyaenic Form (and the Geological Scrapings it is made of) as an entity that does not need to "speak for itself" to be profoundly present.
Survive the Crash Site: Stop trying to "integrate" trauma and start building from the debris of the systems that have already failed.
The West's current "ontological awareness" is a mirror that only reflects its own fear of the void. To see the Real, it must first break the mirror.
Would you like me to draft a more formal "Post-Psychological" analysis of how the West's current literalism specifically prevents it from ever encountering the Real in contemporary art?
