[[Human]] [[subjectivity]] or what we call [[existence]] involves this constant [[process]] of projecting oneself out on to the [[world]] and into the [[future]]. For [[Heidegger]], therefore, human [[consciousness]] is not an inner world of [[thoughts]] and [[images]] but a constant process of projecting [[outside]], or what he called 'ex-sistence'.
 
The [[Other]] is believed to [[experience]] a level of [[enjoyment]] beyond our own experience. The important point here is that this unfailing [[jouissance]] does not [[exist]]:
 
[I]t insists as an [[ideal]], an [[idea]], a possibility [[thought]] permits us to envision. In [[[Lacan]]'s] terminology, it 'ex-sists': it persists and makes its claims felt with a certain [[insistence]] from the outside, as it were. Outside in the [[sense]] that it is not a [[wish]] [[[desire]]], 'Let's do that again!' but, rather, 'Isn't there something else you could do, something different you could try?'
