REPUBLICPolitical analogies in Lacan's Optical Model Author : Zenon Kelper |
FOREWORD
This page stands
for the Analysis of Resistance
which is a routine phase along a Pyshoanalysis.
It also take places in the most confused moment after conter-transference,
or as the most casual 'News Report' in case of a successful psychoanalysis
.
Practicaly, the present essay will pivot around
The Republic described by Plato, as the Resistance stage against Democracy,
as an opening it introduces the question of
the secondary phase resulting of the Purloined Letter Decipered analysis
.

In a project I asked what was the intention of the most dominant people -
who can be identified as the leaders of masses and/or history. I suggested
that their drive was that of surviving. On this topic, Velikovsky provided
an interesting information - it seems that for a long time mankind has had
notion that celestial events could threaten earthly life. It is therefore
probable that, beside plan for rejuvenating, overcoming aging and, as we
know today, regenerating by cloning, the drive of survivors initiated a
protection against catastrophic intrusions of celestial bodies in the ecosystem
of earth.
Let us make an example : in Antiquity, people may have imagined diverse ways
- more or less magical - for pushing danger away from earth; one of
these ways is to address physical events with physical means - thus rockets
and other kinds of machines to make the salvatory job of altering asteroid's
orbits. If such kind of intention was intuitively operated thousands of years
ago, it is not irreasonable to think that the present space industry follows
a consequence thread, which comes from this early times and will. For the
same reason, we can realize that the present possibility to make a clone
form a mummy, simply achieves the definite project of resurrection which
was set in place by the pharaohs.
It is not totally absurd to think that our current performance in sciences
as space conquest and/or microbiology correspond to some project induced
by ancient dominant people, who have been able to instigate a civilizatin
behavior which would help fullfil their drive. At least, it is less absurd
to think this way that to believe that we suddenly develop all our wonderfull
technology by a unique intelligence which would need no historical background.
Let's admit that we are mere particles in a global space & time, alias
environment & history, and thus, let's be able to grab our
participation in this infinite experience.
What is Resistance then? Or how does it manifests? Or how do we manifest
it?
In 1996-1997
, during many months, astronomers have beencontemplating
an asteroid heading toward Eath. The first calculation were estimating that
it would pass closer than the orbit of the Moon. The estimation was approximative
enough for letting scientists contemplating the possibility of an impact
on Earth. Eventually, the space rock passed a little beyond. Considering
the mass of the object, a collision would have probably been devastating
for life on Earth, and certainly for Humankind. Politician have not been
alarmed, and the population staid unaware of the brutal threat on people's
reality.
It is possible that in the months or years to come, the existence of such
circonstances wil be used for economical motive - and that a usefull industry
will be pursued for the sake of life on Earth and the possible protection
against blind and violent alien invasion. Yet the circumstances of the first
detection of such an actual danger is interesting to be considered. The first
absence of reaction and information in the human collectivity, must have
an explanation.
The status of Psychoanalysis as Resistance. No Artificial Intelligence while Freud/telephone and all Lacan cybernetics
One may say that realism is a matter to accept weapon, war, pollution, oppression, torture - the state of mind of stupidity , the history of religion, the taboo on Genetics.
Experience of dnafoundation. Clone obvious, IVP - Clinton while psychoanalyst is dull - CODE/drug - no speaking Freud and drug. Meanwhile end of petroleum in 20/30 years and possibility of mass-psychiatry. Religion was always a national and drug matter - host - and psychoanalysts do not help to understand that there will be no direction of drug choice - but a collective mass-experience... we don't know but what we can know for sur is how much is idiocy employed and how little Psychoanalysis express its mission.
Lacan's model, light/optics
based, presents a Psychoanalytic
phase which matches Plato's Cave Model
of The Republic :
W.Theaux' essay on
Democracy shows the..:
The optical model represents the human mind - which consists in alternative modes of consciousness. One is the Psychoanalytic Phase. Lacan based his model on the optical light property which condenses images in a concave mirror. The same condensation was described by Plato for building souls in his Cave model. Many other similarities identify both Plato's & Lacan's models (as for instance the separation between the casted shadows in the back of the cave and the condensed resonated sounds that Plato called 'souls' are related to the split of the Social Link, etc...).
A linguistic definition of this split which centers the (alternative) consciousness shifts (see: Castration Complex in Freud) is given by Lacan, as the circulation (which bases art of memory as well as conception of time) of the social phases of the soul (refered to the algebra of Cybernetics) by Democratic phases (when Ecology results).
Social Consciousness in the 20th Century joins both Plato's Cave and Plato's Banquet together. Those two founding Social Models of the first civil world in civilization are practically joined in Plural Analysis activity. | ||

This is the Natural Community foreseeing an ecological Society. |
Summary: Lacan's Optical Model depicts the ecological function of a Democracy. It is based on the rotation principle of its four elements which permute on four places according cybernetic laws & industry. Following Plato's Republic model, it re-enacts the Art of Memory of the Traditional Hermeticism.
The dulliness of Psychoanalysis and the secondray purloined letter
Tale of the story of The second generation
The artificial Intelligence as being the clone/second letter

NOTE 20 : The date may be approximative. I first had the information from a TV program, later confirmed by a scholar astronomer. In 1997 or earlier, between a year and 6 months before it fly nearby Earth, an asteroid was detected. The first calculation estimated that the bolide would pass by our planet closer that the moon's orbit. In fact, it passed a little beyond. In any case it was very close and if it had hit our planet, it seems that, with its mass, the object would have destroyed humanity.<back to text>

NOTE: The biotech age will also give us more reason to guard our personal
privacy. Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, got it wrong: rather than
entralizing power in the hand of the state, DNA technology has empowered
individuals and families. But the state will have an important role, making
sure that no one, including insurances companies, can look at our genetic
data without our permission or use it to discriminate against us.
