helpless self

Jean-François Léotard's The Postmodern State, see this passage in a note on one page:

In a free review, Bufrés points out "the disembodied self" This theme is related to the scientific "crisis" of the early 20th century and to Mach's epistemology, who said the following: "Given the state of science, a man is constituted only by what others think he is, in this world, experiencing Events exist independently of people. This is a future world where the events that are taking place are not happening to anyone, and nobody is responsible" ("The Problem of the Subject in 'Man Without Personality'", in Northwest Wind , December 1978-January 1979, pp. 234-235).

Events exist independently of people, and events don't happen to anyone - isn't that actually what this story ends up doing? The assertion of "a helpless self" is not limited to this. "A person is constituted only by what others think he is." In fact, it is this idea that promotes the personality change, or growth, of the girl who travels through time and space. At the same time, the most evil witch in history has been confirmed because of this change, that is, the inverse proposition that "a person is constituted only by what others think he is" is also true; on the other hand, these two "" What is she", one comes from subjective will, the other comes from objective will, then it can be seen that a person's personality is actually insignificant to the parties. Nothing lives for oneself, and although such a final conclusion lacks a sense of freedom, it is an unchangeable fact.

One of the passages of the language game, mentioned from time to time in The Postmodern State, is formulated as follows:

Atoms are placed at the intersection of pragmatic relations, but they are also transferred into a perpetual motion across their statements. Every opponent of language will produce a kind of "displacement", a kind of change when it is "struck", no matter what its nature, and whether he is the addressee or the referent, or the speaker. These "strikes" inevitably lead to "counterattacks", and we all know from experience that if these counterattacks are merely reactions, they are not "good". Because at this time they are only the results expected by the opponent in the strategy, and what they achieve is the opponent's strategy, which runs counter to the goal of changing the balance of their respective forces. It follows from this that it is important that the displacement must be exacerbated, or even disoriented, in order to deliver a surprise blow (a new statement).

In the story, the displacement of the girl who traveled through time and space, and the displacement of the lost direction at the end, the language blows suffered are generally derived from self-suggestion, taking herself as the biggest imaginary enemy; but the formation of this self-suggestion originally came from the contracted beast. . The contracted beast itself calculated the final outcome in an unconscious strategy, making everyone immersed in the final judgment, and thus created an unexpected universe where no witches ever appeared: the monsters were replaced by passive female symbols. religious male symbols. Therefore, whether to take the initiative or not, if both parties exist for the existence of the other, then the matter of who to live for may still be convertible, "what are we" can be answered, and finally return to their respective shell universes .

If we imagine that what is happening is not happening to anyone, maybe we can move into the future. If we imagine that no one is responsible, "we" are not responsible, perhaps throwing us into our own world. But because it is a if thing, it means that this is an ideal state. If everyone does it, it will cause the disintegration of the current universe because of the private dimensional space that continues to be generated regardless of the consequences. So we have to imagine, instead of starting to act, because the actions of individual people have already caused chaos in the world, and because we cannot guarantee the quality of the next universe created by this method.

In the story, there is a miraculous new life and a fictitious legend. In reality, there will be more probability of destruction, because the connection between people is fragmented by the increasingly commercialized world values, leaving the helpless and helpless. Self-sustaining is helpless. No support, no union, no strength. Simply put, there is no warrior without love, and without warriors, there is no fight against this evil universe.

Obviously, such a theory is likely to be regarded as a declaration of gunfire, and let the people who do not know the truth go to various ways to transfer. But it's also a survival strategy. Whoever he is.
