[In the modern definition, less ‘freedom’ means more ‘responsibility’.

Less ‘responsibility’ means greater ‘freedom’.

‘Freedom’ and ‘responsibility’ are opposed.

So, from the intersecting nested form of the welfare recipient, ‘the mirror of the world3H’ lifts a key responsibility weighing the recipient’s heart2. Now, the recipient is free (without responsibility) to realize the potential of a disability.

The recipient can work, but the recipient also cannot work.

Remember the realm of possibility allows contradictions.]

[It doesn’t matter whether the sovereign gives you something2a or takes something2a away from you. What matters is that something2a reflects both your potential1a, ultimately, your choice3b.

At the extreme, the subject is completely objectified.

I3b and me1a become, what Giorgio Agamben called, homo sacer.

The mirror of the world3a becomes the camp.]
