Orpheus and narccicus and the refusal of the reality principle. Embrace of joy and libido. And of nirvana.

Simultaneous orgasm as a founding part of heterosexuality. Disciplinary power as a founding part of heterosexuality, normalizing sexuality so it can be measured and administered. Simultaneous orgasm as a form of normalisation. Heteronormativity as beyond sex.

Discussion of phantasy as the force that imagines freedom. It can negate the reality principle but has no objective power. It's objective universe comes through in art, which in turn can only be powerful when unreconciled, atonal. Foreclosing the possibility of freedom is part of the reality principle. Productivity oriented society makes freedom from scarcity possible. The direction of productivity can be changed.

Are the instincts natural or can they be varied based on historical conditions.

Could a non repressive society as such be made as the aspects of instinct which cause domination may only exist due to historical contingencies.

Orgasm as the defining feature that makes a sex act countable. Emerging from Kinsey's sexology.

The modernist attempt to capture orgasm in literature.

Trepidations on writing orgasm because it is unwritable and because it may be too personal to have any generalised value.

Orgasm that can be read two ways, promiscuous and multi perspectival critical figure.

Establishment of comparison between Freud's metapsychology and general trends in western philosophy. Logos or reason as domination of nature starting with domination of one's own "lower" instincts. Culminating in Nietzsche who asserts an erotic attitude towards being.

Alexei is on page 90 of 219 of Eros and Civilization
The abolition of the individual and personal socialization. Instead the generic atom becomes immediately the social atom via television etc (instead of parents) without developing a unique personality.

The abundance of gadgets and material etc in this highly rationalised system distract and incapacitate the individual. Further, mass bureaucracy hides the opressor, who can ones anger be aimed at?

So far a survey of the rise of anti Semitism in the party. Mosley often referring to Jews as alien, foreign, exotic. And stating that they hold undue influence and power.

Discussion of how critical butlerian approaches dismiss a material or anatomical account of the orgasm.

This followed by O'Connell's critical medical enquiry into the orgasm.

Jagose making the point that this demonstrates the critical possibility of combining both anatomical and cultural accounts of orgasm.

Discussion of thoughtless leisure activities etc being an aspect of totalitarian control. Sex is less controlled in turn, but conforms.

Destructive impulse productively unleashed upon nature. Eros sublimated to aim inhibited social affection. Community etc.

The father spreading out through social institutions. The guilt of killing the father causing further consolidation of domination after each rebellion.

Heterosexuality as technology of reproduction: trans, asexual, homosexual etc reproduction possible but denied by the state.

Monkeys: the inhuman, we must not seek to join the human but rather embrace dishumanity and do away with the taxonomies.

National identity in wet nurses: prevent the corruption of race etc through working class wet nurses. Analogue in criminalisation of sex work: Sex must go solely to nation

Discussion of how partial instincts are repressed and unified into aim based generality in surplus repression. Perversion as attempt to prevent the return of the father. Woman oriented nirvana instinct; desire for peace / death. Origin of domination in the father.
