ABSTRACT
In 1972, Lacan foresaw the blowout of capitalist discourse; shortly afterward, he wrote a striking phrase in Television: “The more saints, the more laughter; that’s author principle, to wit, the way out of the capitalist discourse2 –which will not constitute progress if it happens only for some”. This statement is not finally, very original, and variations of it have been written throughout the centuries. An analysis, as both experience and experiment, is founded on the rule that an analysand must say everything or must speak in spite of everything. To make this contention more concrete through a rule, the sexual encounter between analyst and analysand is forbidden; the consequence of this rule is that if such an encounter takes place, the experiment of analysis comes to an end.
