Another interesting production from Claude AI on jouissance & the void

Neil Gorman -

As I continued chatting with Claude AI about the concept of the void in Lacan's teaching, the AI started to make connections between jouissance and the void. I found this production interesting.

Jouissance is intimately connected to the void. It represents an attempt to fill the fundamental lack at the core of subjectivity, but paradoxically, it often leads to more suffering.

This is interesting because (1) I think this is a correct rendering of Lacan's thought, and (2) it is so clearly stated.

💡
SIDE NOTE: One of the many things I'm working on nowadays is a proposal that suggests that Lacanian clinicians get together to study how AI will affect the Lacanian clinic and the School.
