@botero01 And now I'll tell you why you are both right and wrong [and how this is a case of application of replacing the logic of 'either/or', with 'both/and'], and why you are taking a wrong step in the right direction: "A[n] example here is the most notorious case of universal judgement: 'All men are mortal'. In its implicit libidinal-symbolic economy, such a judgement always excludes 𝑚𝑒 - that is, the absolute singularity of the speaker, qua subject of enunciation. It is easy to ascertain, from the observer's safe distance, that 'everybody' is mortal: however, this very statement involves the exception of its subject of enunciation - as Lacan puts it, in the 𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 [emphasis mine, here], nobody truly believes that ℎ𝑒 is mortal; this knowledge is disavowed, we are dealing with a fetishistic splitting: 'I know very well that I am mortal, but still...'."
