People dress up for work and school because the process of dressing up (which is to say, to address the (a) of beauty and attempt to meet it) moves them into university discourse. Which puts them in the mindset productive for wagegrind and school, which is also university discourse

What's really interesting is that like basically this is always the fantasy of a psychotic (see: Hitler) externalised into the world-as-sinthome and appropriated by the state/world into its political agenda Because a psychotic's attempt to build a body, when done in politics, basically by arguing into existence HIS body also provides the intellectual regime for defending the body of the state as a political entity
Some anthropologists argue the origin of government itself is in coordinating the many to achieve a single idiosyncratic, sacred quest that begins as nothing more than one charismatic man's fantasy.

you don't have to worry about objectifying me: when i moan and say "oh yes, use me" to acknowledge the inherent instrumentality in relation as such, i invite you into a performative critique of kant via the marionian erotic reduction where we stop asking the question of how the Other can love us (as "good", as "right") and ask instead if we can love first — and in doing so assure our beingness: the way God grounds himself by being the first lover because we feel so good, baby, so you know we are so right xitter.cf/defaultmuse/status/211…
the problem with kant is that if someone is an "end in themselves" they are made purely into an instrument, an instrument towards the "kingdom of ends". so the way to actually avoid making someone into an instrument is pretty much to turn your instrumentalisation of them into an end in itself

drop the word "integrate" in a psychoanalysis post and i cannot take him seriously but yeah the prob really is that integration is always relative and the "symptom" and your "dark side" is relative to YOUR PLACE IN THE WORLD and cannot be considered in a vacuum as some platonic healed ideal to reach

the marionian counterpoint to kant, via the erotic reduction:
that's why you don't have to worry about objectifying your intimate partner. when they moan and say "use me" they're just acknowledging the instrumentality inherent to relation as such and inviting you to join in a performative critique of kant
