A lot of explaining seems to go on, not very effective or well-thought out admittedly, but the point is to assume the position of explainer. The things that are closest to pointing the way out but fail to do so are the very ones that are most complicit with the recurrent bondage. Explanation is thus a reflex which bends the vectors of intent back towards the surface of biography, an imaginary point outside the self which serves the self. Watching with a taint of approval or disapproval, of pro or con. The action manufactures an unit of narrative, a tradeable unit. It is a little like mining bitcoins: a certain default mental process manufactures small corpuscles of self enabling narratives. The resulting narratives can be traded with real or imaginary others contributing to the natural circulation of sap within this region of the human aggregate. Whatever trajectories they mark out, whether they function in an analogue economy or a digital control system, they have one intended outcome and that is to affirm the priority of system over subject, to repeat the axiom of the subject's subjection.
