Guattari’s idea is both refreshing and profound. He suggests that when a person experiences psychosis, her psychosis changes according to her surroundings, and, therefore, treating her with fear by locking her up, keeping her in restraints, overmedicating her, and exposing her to other methods of suppression only serves to change her psychosis to a psychosis of fear and paranoia. Who, psychotic or not, in the same situation wouldn’t also feel terror and paranoia? Indeed, there is a legitimate reason to be paranoid and afraid. Further, the shock of being treated inhumanly, the sense of alienation and of betrayal, and, perhaps paramountly, the realization that humans can and do treat other humans in this way, is itself shocking and traumatizing. It is a shock and trauma that alters the psyche, changing the personality of the person who undergoes it.

This quote from Guattari goes hard. It’s from “To Have Done with the Massacre of the Body”

On Witnessing Rotation: 

It’s all about suction.

I use a tight wad of paper to clean my spinning blade.

Small rips appear on it as the saw sucks it in, 

I feel its draw, itself

a reminder

Or sign

Of what will happen to my hand, if I give it half a chance.

In other words:

The feeling that arises from a hunk 

Tracing his fingertips over your flimsy shoulders-

I’m telling you. 

It’s exactly the same

As the rapid rotation of a saw

That threatens to chop off your fingers.
