Late Midnight Random Thought #1

Koolhaas is the best brain architect. He has the same attitude as the Marquis de Sade towards sex: he enjoys it only through a game in which the rules are overturned, exasperated, and taken to the limit.

_

He is the most acute spokesman for an extreme aestheticism frequent among intellectuals, especially in metropolitan areas, in which the senses enter only secondarily, after the brain. The result of this attitude is a progressive shift in pleasure, aiming at increasingly extreme and more difficult games. And that, in the end, it can also return to normality, seen as the final limit of the transgression.

_

Because what brings pleasure is nothing but the infringement connected with the action—the constant sensation of always going further.
