No matter how many times you pull it apart you still find yourself caught out by being for an other, playing to an audience or to the place of an audience which happens to be filled by imaginary personages living or dead. You can't just stop doing this, as in doing so you would be doing so for a witness. In just the same way taking the position of pure subject is always done with respect to some objectivity. This is like all the people trying to 'prove' the existence of consciousness via arguments drawn from science or philosophy. Every form of anti-reductionism is absurd since it seeks to justify the prior by the posterior, but you can't help doing it, nonetheless, no matter how many times you've stopped. It's like the old joke about smoking: abandoning metaphysics, ()or duality) is easy, I've done it lots of times!
