"The objectness of the object is attenuated as the subject, seeing itself as others see it, comes to occupy the object's place as well as its own."
finally, we have a man who loves the machine in a way that it tasteful, not bland and does not delude itself with a Deluezian pscyhoanalysis so rich that it sticks out like a sore prosthetic thumb. Planes of sensation and the inability to capture affection, not the limitations of the cock and shape shifting of hormones, are the lines of thought.
