Both Žižek and Derrida see September 11 as an event marking the possibility of a way out of contemporary political ideology, with the potential to instigate an entirely new version of politics—for Derrida, this is the ‘democracy to come’—which, among other things, insists upon not…following, applying, or realising a norm or rule. When there is a determinable rule, I know what must be done, and as soon as such knowledge dictates the law, action follows knowledge as a calculable consequence: one knows what path to take, one no longer hesitates; the decision then no longer decides anything but simply gets deployed with the automatism attributed to machines. (p. 134; original emphasis)
