The most important move will be the return to man vs society trough truly understanding the implications of the post-modern state of things. Attempting to rebel in a world where everything is commodified and personalized for subjects personal pleasure. Return to naive romanticism without the naivete, to truly non-conforming sexuality and honest engagement with meta-narratives. The submission not to the Big Other, but to concrete people you love.
