ABSTRACT
Choice is always unique, unexpected, singular to the individual. Faced with the unexpected of contingency it remains up to the subject to decide if she is going to seize or reject it, or even let it pass by without having noticed that an opportunity had presented itself to her. Contingency, which is always unexpected, makes the future outcome for an individual unpredictable. Regardless of any necessity, what the subject might become, which is linked as much to contingency as to the choices he makes, remains unpredictable. The outcome resists prediction, it remains caught in its fundamentally uncertain nature. What an individual becomes is ultimately primarily his own creation. Rather than being the consequence of the method of Jacques-Alain Miller procreation what the child becomes is first and foremost a function of the choices he will make; something that evades any prediction, at least at the case by case level of each subject.
