When we eat an apple, we also experience the satisfaction of its good taste as the neuronal activity, as a higher-level neuronal process—in the same way, we should not eat this apple to feel its good taste as a neuronal process. The symbolic order should exert a pull over us even when, for example, we try to eat potatoes. The pressure of the temptation to eat a raw potato from the ground up is enough to overcome the static determination of our being toward life, our well-being, and, consequently, the satisfaction of our moral longing.
