"Don't make me make you do
what made you make me do it."
PROBLEM:
-Elaborate on a situation that would make the statement above rational.
(after 2 hours of analysis and deliberation (see photo of the white-board), the following elaborated re-statement was devised)
SOLUTION:
"Don't delude yourself into believing that I made you externalize your neurotic complex through your action, when it is that exact neurotic complex that made you believe that I am somehow responsible for your action."
-In this statement, the speaker (person A) denies any responsibility for a potential future action that may be committed by the person being spoken to (person B). In "person B's" mind, this action would be an elicited end result of a chain of causal circumstances. The speaker (person A) hints that what "person B" considers to be the initial stimulus in the chain (an action allegedly committed by "person A") was not intended to provoke "person B" into their potential action. The fault for the entire sequence of events is redirected to the neurotic complex in "person B" that deluded "person B" into believing that "person A's" initial action was intentionally meant to provoke.
-The crux of the confusion inherent in attempting to comprehend the initial statement is that "person B's" final potential resulting action is identified as the initial cause of the sequential chain of events leading up to it. This is logistically impossible because the last action in a causal chain can not leap backward in time to initiate the sequence of events that gave it birth. This forces us to identify a new singular underlying cause that is fundamentally responsible for both the beginning and the end actions in the chain. A neurotic complex would make a perfect synchronous bridge between past actions and future actions. Thus, the first and last externalizations of this neurotic complex are presented as synonymous with the complex itself.
"Don't make me (perceive me as) make you (provoking or eliciting) do (potential action : the externalization of your complex) what (the complex itself) made you (deluded you) make me (into perceiving me as) do it (provoking you).

we are psychotic. we are artists. we are many.
It looks like you've done it...What was once thought to be a nonsensical literary equation meant to challenge one to make it relevant, has become much more. This leaves me to ask, does the answer lie in the "answer" to the question or does the "answer" lie in the question itself? That is, whether the equation is considered rational or not, the equation can only become rational by it's ability to entice others to make it rational.This mere act of one deciphering and suffering to make it rational, is the only thing that gives it its value. By subverting a literary equation (which initially seemed to expect a mathematical response) to a subjective, psychoanalytical response, you have resolved what was not resolvable in its natural state. By giving the equation psychoanalytical parameters, you have made the equation solvable. Amazingly, you solved the equation, BY SOLVING WHAT MADE THE EQUATION UNSOLVABLE. Psychotic artist you've done it again, the student becomes the master. BRAVO!!!
ReplyDeleteOh "W.G. Drosos", what a beautiful mind you have trapped forever in your skull. I am pleased that some of it escaped, seeped through veins to the tips of your fingers; strange naked creatures dancing wildly on a grid of plastic buttons. The moments spent within this sacred equation were martyrs who's lives were never their own to live. ALL solutions are merely puppets to their problems. Every answer is it's questions bitch.
