Man should stop being — or becoming — a rational animal. He should become a lunatic, risking everything for the sake of his dangerous fantasies, capable of exaltations, ready to die for all that the world has as well as for what it has not. Each man’s ideal should be to stop being a man. This can only be attained through absolute arbitrariness.
