Freud made the discovery- quite genuinely, simply through working on his own material- that the more deeply one explores the phenomena of human individuation, the more unreservedly one grasps the individual as a self-contained and dynamic entity, the closer one draws to that in the individual which is really no longer individual.

Laughing in the cultural industry is mockery of happiness.

The individual mirrors in his individuation the preordained social laws of exploitation, however mediated.
