Kafka's Supplicant

Quantum entanglement of the masses: An end to the dialectic of power and resistance, in favor of hegemony.

An end to the struggle between the social and the anti-social, in favor of the social pathogen.

Entangled but detectable as separate.
This last trace detection of what was once called character or indiosyncresis: it is an appeal to an evacuated space, an instantaneous appeal and response and counter appeal, at the maximal speed of the medium against the glacial movement of critical thought.  Critical thought is weighted down by its own lugubrious code,  by its constant need to remember itself, objectify itself.  

Critical thought: The past remembers the more distant past, always moving through a denser and denser medium, into obscurity. Obesity and maximal gravity as the false door of liberation.  The door at which Kafka’s supplicant waits.
