stupid, repetitive, pre-sexual
Zizek (hier):
"What we should accept, what we should reconcile ourselves with, is that there is a sub-layer to life, the undead, the stupidly, repetitive, pre-sexual life of viruses, which always was there and which will always be with us as a dark shadow, posing a threat to our very survival, exploding when we least expect is."
En:
"[Viruses] are the living dead: a virus is alive due to its drive to replicate, but it is a kind of zero-level life, a biological caricature not so much of death-drive or of life at its most stupid level of repetition and multiplication. However, viruses are not an elementary form of life out of which more complex forms developed. They are purely parasitic; they replicate themselves through infecting more developed organisms (when a virus infect us, humans, we simply serve as its copying machine.)"
Het virus repliceert. Het is code, maar het principe is niet talig (semantisch, syntactisch) maar het is als machinetaal. De code onder de code. De code onder de wereld van morfemen, morfologie, organismen en verschijnselen.
Het is het reëele als getal.
En het maakt kopieerapparaten van ons.
