The Truth of Anxiety

Lacan says anxiety means that lack is lacking. What he means is that that cut or that gap that is little A has been taken from you. And something else has appeared in its place. I'd like to suggest that what appears in its place is the child themselves. The big other says as a split castrated subject are the object of my desire. Your what I want, which is why I say that demand always runs out of steam and in its final flourish is a demand for your own castration.
