+====Their mapping of the world through nuclear power's radioactivity is an extension of a despotic scientism – an attempt at rationally imposed cartography on the chaotic and articulable nature of the world. In reality, matter and culture exceed our control through a self-organizing vitality – Ari, you can't control radiation – it's everywhere.==== |

+====The vilification of nuclear power forms a perverse necrophilia. Confrontation with our self-ensured destruction presents a profound anxiety, for which our response is the projection of human fallibility onto technology. Stranded, separated from nature, we become both guilty of and fascinated with our technology. Through this, our psychological urges become projected onto an external object, ensuring an apathy in which never come to grips with our murderous desires and displace responsibility and a guilty-driven instinct for self-destruction that ensures environmental catastrophe.==== |

Ecological crisis requires an all-encompassing questioning of our unconscious assumptions, processes, and theories – lest a pathology for sameness ensure destruction. Ecopsychoanalysis adopts a view of the subject as embedded within a complex and interconnected ecological webbing, deconstructing individual psychoanalysis in favor of a process of fluid and experimental becoming. Within this imminent and virtual view, disaster and subjectivity presents a transformative potential for engagement within the earth's non-linear flows.==== |
