LACAN, JACQUES

Lacan: the objet a is the object-cause of desire — never the object actually attained, always the residue that propels another reaching. Limbo is the objet a given a port and a domain. The applicant pays to swipe right; the right swipe is denied. The denial does not end desire; it produces it. Each rejection is the next objet a. The funnel runs on Lacanian gasoline.
