In an age increasingly inclined toward the robotization of life, praising the unconscious is an act of resistance. Invented by Freud, the unconscious is the place where the subject's desire manifests itself in its irreducible singularity, constantly forging a creative, eccentric, and anomalous space that no educational planning can tame. The unconscious continually destabilizes social conformity, the uniformity imposed by what has been defined as the discourse of capitalism. It is the only true antidote to the conception of man as a machine and the narcissistic cult. Recognizing the existence of the subject of the unconscious also means undermining the ideal of performance and a strong identity, abandoning all forms of fanaticism or totalitarian dogmatism, and developing a more vital and interesting internal democracy, where boundaries are capable of guaranteeing surprising connections and encounters.
