There is never anything new. Just opportunity for repetition. Degrees of simulacra.
I see. Poor Ernst. The idea of repetition compulsion is fascinating; the psychosis of being boring and endlessly replaying the same moment/relation in one's life, unable to escape. This is why I believe in the quasi-magical power of the transference in psychoanalysis (and the subsequent working through), as an escape from the loop.
Well, I should have said the seemingly-new.
