TGL - 012 | Addendum | More on Jouissance, Death Drive, & Negativity (Lack)

INTRO:
This episode of The Gorman Limit is being released very shortly after episode 011. The reason for this is that I thought about the topics I've been riffing on during episodes 010 and 011, and there was more I wanted to say about jouissance, the death drive, & negativity or lack.
