There is a great degree of mastery required at Bataille’s end as well as any other dimension of human existence -- only it is a different kind of psychological mastery, in some respects, from that of Nietzsche (at least from that which Nietzsche was conscious of having).
Can you maintain your pride in yourself and still “fall from grace”? Freud wasn’t wrong about the power of the superego and to try to do both of these at once stretches you in opposite directions. I’ve tried this and for quite a long time. It creates interesting and distant perspectives.
It’s very strange.
