    Lovely talk. I didn't quite know what I was signing up for when I began listening, but a lot of these ideas articulate what I've been feeling and thinking myself in my own practices. That said, I usually fall back onto a different Marx to describe my innate discomfort with cataphatic systems: "I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member." 🙂

    The Lacanian method has made it possible to calculate the radius of an orgasm

    The difference between communion and a bond formed by a loss of a past that was more "whole" is interesting, I think there has to be a difference between the two when it comes to speech (full and empty speech)

    This was great. I first discovered Peter via “Owls At Dawn” (which I miss) podcast, and while I absolutely DON’T understand all his work (nor Daniel’s), I do appreciate very much of it as a kind of Kierkegaardian Christian mystic of some sort.. I just appreciate struggling with all this, and I’ll have to listen to it again for sure. Thanks for this conversation! 🙏

    This is exactly the conversation I have been hoping to hear Peter Rollins have with somebody! Daniel asks great questions. I have been struggling with the intersection between Lacan and theology. This was enlightening.
