john's explanation of lacan and 0
1-1=-1
0 is the imposition of the subject into math. that's hilarious. john was arguing this to me and i said "that's silly, look, here's a cup. now i take the cup away. 1 cup minus one cup... oh wait, it is actually an action, and the 0 is just standing in for the action i did... woooh. i feel like i'm high"
