Another beautiful piece. You will find much on this topic in Lacan. For instance his idea of jouissance and "surplus-enjoyement" as analogon of surplus-value. I published a book about that and what it means for capitalism but it's in French.

Oh and I am in for the university creation. A word that you barred in very Lacanian fashion.

Thank you Luis, it means a lot, coming from you. Unfortunately my French is still seventh grade level :) Do you have any reading recommendations on Lacan? AND: let's talk sometime about the university.

All the Lacan I read was in French when I was training into psychoanalysis. Since Lacan invented a new way of writing in French, I don't know how good and faithful the translations are. But I made this little video in English 5 years ago as an improvisation on the aforementioned book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0WX6XGaXBY

I think the university project should start by proposing a Philosophical Health master program to an existing university, which we could co-design, as a proof of concept. Let's talk about it in the autumn, after our related planned endeavours.

Creally yours,

Luis
