The theory is that metaphor evolves from math, or that technology produces images. But the theory actually originates in story; Darwin is a fastastic creature. We are conscious of fantasy before we are conscious of the technical world, and this fantasy consciousness does not disappear with an education in technique. The body does not cease to be magical and mythical just because the language of technique excludes magic and myth. A technical language is ignorant of the fantastic.

Technology attempts to replace the fantastic creature with "local universe technology." When the corporate body plugs into technical language, it becomes profoundly unconscious of fantasy. The wish is that technology confine fantasy within the unreal; if it isn't real, it doesn't matter. Wishes are fantastic.

Technology cannot save us from ourselves, it cannot actually eliminate the fantastic essence of human experience. The human body is fantastic; the organs are organs of fantasy; the mouth, the anus, the penis, the vagina are all fantastic. To understand (to stand under) the incorporated body of human fantasy seems to me, essential to my experience.
