The Pathway of the Neurotic

"I can't explain all of this as I would like because I also want to honor your time," he says. "But what's happening here at the level of zero relative to the desire of a barred other is that where fantasy used to be, you now have something else." The neurotic lives their life in relation to whatever it is they think they lack, which is always what they think other people are into,. Now at this point, when fantasy fails and it does fail, fantasy is interrupted by a signal of the other's desire. See that's what the formula on page 25 shows us? It's unfortunate that Lacan doesn't make much more of it!"
