Alright, Michael Downs is with us again and Todd is back to talk more about his new book The Cambridge Introduction to Jacques Lacan.
Listen to PART ONE HERE!
We’re talking why the master signifier and the quilting point shouldn't be used interchangeably, the crucial difference between das Ding and objet petit a, and Lacan's three big missteps with the four discourses, sexuation, and the sinthome.
We get into gambling theory, the "Joy Machine" at airports, Yahoo's gambling origins, whether we're living through a decline of symbolic efficiency or just more superego pressure, and why AI might be the ultimate big other.
Shared fantasy, traversing the fantasy, and the impossibility of the sexual relationship…what does this have to do with Escape (The Piña Colada Song)”?
