    \n
  1. This is a manifesto of failure. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. It will succeed if it fails and fail if it succeeds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. In declaring its aims and its aims at completeness it fails necessarily. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The complete work of art is a contradiction. The complete joke doubly so.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. It is masculine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. It is defined by masculine failure. A failure to be masculine and therefore successfully masculine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. The negative generates the positive but the positive cannot generate the negative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Has there not been a great terror cast upon the earth? Do we not tremble in the shadow of a complete irony? And yet it yearns for an impossible completeness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. To break the limit of the infinite in a finite language.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. To produce the contradiction in the reader without proof.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. To refuse suicide because it is too positive. To remain in the infinite abyss of the negative. To reject the pure unity of death.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Let us continue to fail or die. To continue to live after success is a sin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Neither the first manifesto nor the last. Merely another failure for the pile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. This is an aging movement. It does not concern the young who do not know the gentle catastrophes of life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. The practitioners must be freed from the tyranny of sexual rank by age, injury, or failure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. It is a metaphysics of sex. It is the contradiction of the erection. The inflation that occurs in the genitals of all humankind as a protocontradiction. A protocontradiction that defines the negative masculinity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  17. Hypermetadoubledialectics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  18. It is at odds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  19. At odds with the world and therefore itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  20. It is an incomplete nontotality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  21. It is a comedy of anxiety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  22. It is a schizophrenic disjunction of text units.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  23. The I moves around and through it as any word.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  24. The we is the failure of the cogito.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  25. The I is complex and not simple.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  26. The becoming is a failure to be.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  27. It is not finished. We are not born after it was finished. It has not begun.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
