“Superego is the way a human subject experiences the space of knowledge (S2) without a Master-Signifier (S1), for instance, it is the fantasy of a subject caught in AI. Superego is experienced as maternal because it appears to provide a safely enclosed virtual space protected from the intrusions of the real. The task is therefore nothing less than to traverse the fantasy of the maternal superego protecting us and to resuscitate the self-referential void called subject.”

Pnoè is the rhythmic mediation that transforms the opposition of Eros and Thanatos into a genuinely dialectical movement: not a third drive, but the breath‑like oscillation that makes life, its negation, and becoming co‑constitutive. Celibacy is a technique for modulating pnoè. Judaism’s main weakness is that it does not valorize celibacy, and in fact it structurally rejects it.

"Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant."
