Every love song that we've ever heard is a constant reminder to us that that individuation is bullshit: 'I can't live without you.' That's a commonplace formulation that ought to allow us to call radically into question, okay, the metaphysical terms that we have come to accept. If really, if 'I can't live without you,' that's a critique of I, of it's very possibility. And we should follow that threat to the end. And we should follow that thread not only as a rhetorical formulation, but follow it at the level of our practices.
