“Desire is a relation of being to lack. This lack is the lack of *being* properly speaking. It isn’t a lack of this or that, but lack of being whereby the being exists. This lack is beyond anything that can represent it. It is only ever represented as a reflection on a veil.”
-Jacques Lacán, The Ego in Freud’s Theory and in the Technique of Psychoanalysis
So, Twitter is the reflection on the veil of Elon’s Lack? What a massive black hole.
