“You might read the following as a rough, an admittedly not entirely qualified, giggling yet deadly earnest attempt to carve out some potentials in applying “the Crack Whore” (tCW) as a philosophical figure towards a model of world-engagement, or worlding; a state of being (of mind really) that determines our way of interacting with the mind-Matter of the human Real by way of queering transgression and ecstatic destruction of Self – and as an effect, possibly, the world, universe, cosmos: to go somewhere else, beyond. (No, really: beyond).

For the purpose of this thought experiment, “the Crack Whore” poses as a figure that sacrifices its social and physical constitution to gain an un/holy erection of the mind. tCW hunts for moments of sublime ecstasy, eradicating all demarcations that separate subject from object of desire.”
