The Danish Laws of Nature (1)
Law on Abolition of the Kingdom
198. Ve do see how everything alive has a desperat urge to live. How everything alive is a desperat act of staying alive. How this desperation extends without pause to the boundaries of the kingdom.
199. Ve notice the existence of categories. Categories accumulate knowledge on the part of the categoriser, but not on the part of those who are categorised. In this way we have been categorised into a state of ignorance.
200. Ve know that the Kingdom lays a ring around us. Ve are surrounded by the knowledge of others.
201. Ring is a figure of speech. Kingdom is also a figure of speech. Figures of speech are a sort of desperation that have turned into a habit.
202. Ve do see how everything alive has ways of acting. The ability to act is the universal will to be alive common to alle kingdoms; without boundaries, without categories.
203. This ability to act ve call agency. Agency is the physical, plastic, fertile form. To grow is an expression of agency. Vos agency.
204. Ve grow ourselves out of category (as a concept).
Ve grow ourselves out of the kingdom (as a figure of speech).
205. Ve abolish the Kingdom as a category and a figure of speech.
206. The Kingdom no longer exists.
