Great questions and thoughts. Thank you for them.

I think that Slavoj often remains too much within the Oedipal framework, even though he peaks out at times. For example, every time I've tried to show him what I mean he turns it around into an oedipal dream. Lacan said, "Oedipus was Freud's dream." I think it is similar for Slavoj: he remains within the modern world, ultimately. I think philosophy traps him there.

In any case, the examples I've given him, you can find them in his books in various places (sometimes with me cited and other times without me cited): the episode titled Nosedive from Black Mirror, the "Light Phone," etc. In every case, he sees it as a part of the constitutive tensions of a World. The big secret, you know, is that the Other/World does not exist.. well... Slavoj knows this secret very well, but theorizes as if he doesn't know it.

McKenzie Wark discussed in her book on video games, the 'trifler,' and it is similarly trapped in the logic of the Oedipal World. To generalize foreclosure means to think from the standpoint of the symptom: video games, social media, our relationships, capitalism, it all shows us that the world of the 'All,' that is, the phallic world, has been overturned - we are on the Other side of psychoanalysis now..
