Each organism—each human being—is in a process of disintegration. Our bodies are continually breaking down. This is what Freud meant by the death instinct: the gradual decomposition of cellular structure. To avoid perceiving the disintegration of our body, we flee into the idea of the nation; that which keeps on keepin' on. When one story ends, the next begins. The News is immortal. The players change, but the narrative goes on and on
