" The obsolete psychological category of 'greed' privatizes and moralizes addiction, as if the profit-seeking tropism of a transnational capitalism propagating itself through epidemic consumerism were intelligible in terms of personal subjective traits. Wanting more is the index of interlock with cyberpositive machinic processes, and of personal subjective traits [...] Addiction comes out of the future [...] Money communicates with the primary process because of what it can melt, not what it can obtain. "
