Elsewhere, it’s a ‘switcheroo’ ([Kevin] Kelly’s word, not mine) that will lend technology the working status of a vital force that, like ‘nature’, operates outside the reach of social imperatives.

Nietzsche's approach to language as the medium of such forces (and unforces), and his interrogation of the connection ... is also accompanied by an unforce that must be felt in Kant's writing even as it remains (perhaps aptly) unstressed.

I neither rode recklessly, flirted desperately, carried clothes imperially, turned men's heads, broke their hearts, sang divinely, athletized, literatized, antagonized, nor hypnotized.

Alas, poor heart, that kiss is comfortless As frozen water to a starved snake.
