Le plein et le vide

Nous pensons vouloir nous remplir ; et pourtant nous n’aspirons vraiment qu’à nous vider.

The jouissance of the new far right

This was a crucial point in an excellent New Yorker profile on Curtis Yarvin:

On his travels, he often hosted “office hours”—informal, freewheeling discussions with readers, many of them thoughtful young men, alienated by liberal guilt and groupthink. What wins Yarvin converts is less the soundness of his arguments than the transgressive energy they exude: he makes his listeners feel that he is granting them access to forbidden knowledge—about racial hierarchy, historical conspiracies, and the perfidy of democratic rule—that progressive culture is at pains to suppress. His approach seizes on the reality that most Americans have never learned how to defend democracy; they were simply brought up to believe in it.

This ‘transgressive energy’ which comes from ‘forbidden knowledge’: the sense of having penetrated to a deeper layer of reality, through the intervention of the master. It’s a classically esoteric experience but characterised by worldliness, rather than worldlessness. It venerates knowledge and gives the aspirants towards it a path forward without leaving them caught and immobilised in the painful distance between the world that is and the world that could be:

Yarvin advises his followers to avoid culture-war battles over issues like D.E.I. and abortion. It is wiser, he argues, to let the democratic system collapse on its own. In the meantime, dissidents should focus on becoming “fashionable” by building a reactionary subculture—a counter-Cathedral. Sam Kriss, a left-wing writer who has debated Yarvin, said of his work, “It flatters people who believe they can change the world simply by having weird ideas on the Internet and decadent parties in Manhattan.”

Recently, Yarvin has taken to describing himself as a “dark elf” whose role is to seduce “high elves”—blue-state élites—by planting “acorns of dark doubt in their high golden minds.” (In this Tolkien-inspired metaphor, red-state conservatives are “hobbits” who should submit to the “absolute power” of a new ruling class made up, unsurprisingly, of dark elves.)

He offers the libidinal satisfaction of ‘burning it all down’ filtered through the safe pleasures of remaining behind a screen:

Yarvin is calling for something simpler and more libidinally satisfying: to burn it all down and start again from scratch

Political Jouissance by Slavoj Žižek, 2024

When we oppose or disagree with something important, do we ever really do it dispassionately? Isn't setting the world to rights or condemning a political opponent always done with a hint of relish, or at least enthusiasm? This book's challenging essays explore the modes in which that transgressive pleasure of political 'jouissance' operates.

We can’t escape the trap of desire, but we can approach that trap with greater poise

This extract from Zizek’s Hegel in a Wired Brain captures something crucial about human desire, caught between our satisfactions (what we actually enjoy in a straightforward way) and the overpowering surpluses which we relate to in ambivalent ways (the compulsion to do something which hurts but energises us). From loc 2852:

The paradoxical structure of human desire is a kind of a priori: we cannot step out of it and (re)establish some new balanced universe in which we will not be fixated on a surplus, but just work for our satisfactions.

The core existential Lacanian insight rests, I think, in the recognition that a balanced existence of pure satisfaction is itself a surplus upon which we fixate. To imagine a way out of the ceaseless metonymy of desire is itself another image on which we desirously fixate. The point is not to escape our desire, but rather to learn to wear it more lightly, to move through this terrain with greater poise rather than to imagine other, easier, terrain. There will always be surplus in our experience, there will always be desire, what matters is how we live it out and orientate ourselves to the activity involved.
