Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour
Heidegger's Love Object Is the Loss

One is always sort of constitutionally being towards death in Heidegger and this just struck me as the melancholic position. The love object here is the self and we can never be done we can never acknowledge the loss of the self, so we're thrown into this being towards death. It is highly narcissistic to which I think is also kind of Freud's point and that point of like the melancholic is complaining about them not having any worse they are you know they deserve all this punishment when in fact there's an identification going on.
