It is a way of always giving too much of what is not presently requested.

It is a way of giving what you do not have to others who may not want it.

It is a way of transcending your capacities by embracing your incapabilities and therefore a way to
interrupt the brute assertiveness of the I Can through the performance of an I Can’t performed in the
key of the I Can.

-Jan Verwoert, from “Exhaustion and Exuberance”
