This ethics of becoming is a way of not taking ‘Life’ for granted, while praising the radical immanence of subjects: it proposes becoming-imperceptible as transcendental empiricism. The ultimate threshold is a cosmic echoing chamber that resonates like a web of interconnected, post-human, molecular and viral types of relation affects, intensities. It is the monstrous energy of the intelligent matter, the great animal, the machinic production of gods. It is indeed the case that the Life in me will go on, but it is Zoe, not the rational conscious, sovereign individual. It will go on in the superior generative powers of a Life that is relentlessly not human in its power to endure, in its obscene capacity to fulfill the vitality that animates it. Life will go on, as Zoe always does.
