Debt Is Asymmetrical
Lacan: Debt is asymmetrical. Like debt is this, you did say this. And that is the starting point, not the position that you fall into. He says there's an idea of wholeness attached to debt but it doesn't exist because we're always necessarily lacking subjects. Lacan: We have to start out in debt and we always have to remain in debt within capitalist society. Even Bill Gates will take on debt when he wants to expand Microsoft,. Right? So it's not like debt is just confined to the, the, even the middle class. It permeates capital society which I think is part of the way, the ideological work that it does.
