In order not to govern, that is to say, in order not to be subjugated, it must subordinate nothing (direct object), that is to say, be subordinated to nothing or no one (servile mediation of the indirect object): it must expend itself without reserve, lose itself, lose consciousness, lose all memory of itself and all the interiority of itself; as opposed to Erinnerung, as opposed to the avarice which assimilates meaning, it must practice forgetting, the aktive Vergesslichkeit of which Nietzsche speaks; and, as the ultimate subversion of lordship, it must no longer seek to be recognized.
