The prohibition of suicide coincides with the advent of the law of value. Whether religious, moral or economic, the same law states ‘no-one has the right to remove any capital or value’. Yet each individual is a parcel of capital (just as every Christian is a soul to be saved), and therefore has no right to destroy himself. It is against this orthodoxy of value that the suicide revolts by destroying the parcel of capital he has at his disposal. This is unpardonable: we will go so far as to hang the suicide for having succeeded. It is therefore symptomatic that suicide increases in a society saturated by the law of value, as a challenge to its fundamental rule. But we must also take another look at its definition: if every suicide becomes subversive in a highly integrated system, all subversion of and resistance to this system is reciprocally, by its very nature, suicidal. Those actions at least that strike at its vitals. For the majority of so-called ‘political’ or ‘revolutionary’ practices are content to exchange their survival with the system, that is, to convert their death into cash. There are rarely suicides that stand against the controlled production and exchange of death, against the exchange-value of death; not its use-value (for death is perhaps the only thing that has no use-value, which can never be referred back to need, and so can unquestionably be turned into a weapon) but its value as rupture, contagious dissolution and negation.

An airline pilot should have the right to remove the "value" that he is providing to his passengers at any time. Discuss.

do you ever get the impression that all of these people flying around all of the time, like RSF, are maybe just running from something that they and everyone else affected by it would be better off facing?

That's a Walker Percy of a question. Maybe being happy where you're at is discovering how to be happy with yourself.

i had that and had it removed from outside so someone else could create gain from my loss iirc. they stepped on a plane shortly after to void themselves of having to answer for it. and that's what's so crazy about this
