“…modern subjectivity is predicated on a particularly exhausting and particularly predatory energetic project—one that demands, on one hand, a constant display of the ontological imperative to enter into a permanent agitation; and on the other hand, one that requires plundering whatever resources there might be available to sustain the spectacle of mobility. by constantly representing itself as a kinetic spectacle and disavowing its energetic lack of autonomy, modern subjectivity establishes its colonizing relation in regard to all sorts of energetic sources—whether those are natural, physiological resources, or affective ones: desires, affects, becomings…”
