clever analysis here the content becomes the form - ancient tragedy is preserved not in the storytelling, but in the end product of streaming corporate policy. true capitalist realism.

Why does this matter? Lacan kind of has a monopoly on analytic discourse (at least online) and since we're already good at seeing things in that frame, why not take a look at the other frames and see if they interest you.

I can't find many quantitive studies out there, but from what I can piece together, Lacanians are on the lower percentage of the population. This would match what I see in conferences, schools, and journals, at least in my bubble. Confirmation and selection bias noted.

I run into this often. speaking of 'psychoanalysis' does not mean Lacanian concepts. there's classical freudian, neo-fruedian, objective relations, bionian, relational, modern, winnicottians, kernbergians, ego, self, depth, etc. each offers their own valuable frame.

Roger Waters wrote a song about this in 1992, it's called Perfect Sense Pt II off the Amused to Death album.

Not retweeting to beef w/ Katherine, she's cool. More retweeting so my followers can chime in on what they think.

Some are skeptical as we can imagine Ziz himself critiquing quantum theory as a kind of popscience fantasy invented to justify the ethereality of capitalism. It's a low hanging fruit for media slop such as Marvel / Rick & Morty. It's a dumb person's idea of smart; it's 'reddit.'

I need less resentful posting and arguing (I am guilty from time to time of course) and more interesting learning material from twitter. Anyone have any interesting articles, books, videos, or their own blogs I can read?

also, imagine being a 12k follower account employed professor of philosophy and subtweeting a 500 follower account likely just a student who is trying to get into philosophy. Jesus Christ.

books should be defaced they are a living organism to be interfaced with write a book of notes over some other books trash it (ironically, deleuze [and guattari] would endorse this sentiment while laughing at anyone defending the integrity of a publication)

I have a unpublished book with a chapter on this film. It is important to film, but also to understanding the development of several cultural vectors from the 60s to 90s.

this is a variation on an old observable phenomenon, the 'imaginary audience' that develops between 5-7 and intensifies in adolescence. there is an unsaid audience imagined in most developed language and behavior. this imaginary audience is accelerated by technology.

Same thing happened to me about 10 years ago. I asked the Doctor if it was okay given I am a 'eccentric thinker' who drinks a lot of caffeine, he said it will be fine. It was not fine, I nearly had what felt like a psychotic break.

@boreddeleuzian @EmoFoucault I often tell my patients who want to continue working with me that they don't need to, they should actually skip therapy to do something fulfilling in life as that is the only point of therapy, and if they want to just be friends after some time has passed, that is preferable.

@boreddeleuzian @EmoFoucault Charging people to be an 'expert authority' over their lives when they likely have depended on 'expert authorities' to avoid living their life is just wrong...

@boreddeleuzian @EmoFoucault Like if a therapist wants to see a 'worried well' that is his/her/their judgment & decision, but that point just call it being a friend,& dispense of the fee/ power structure.

Whether you are an anarchist, anti-psychiatrist, something else, etc. (I have friends in all categories - @boreddeleuzian & @EmoFoucault come to mind), or a therapist like me, there's something to be said about people whose position is a vauge 'everyone needs therapy'

Why this is important is because we should really step away from the idea that everyone needs therapy, or that therapy is effective for everyone. We need to be critical of its role and function, and focus on how it helps, but also discuss how it can actually hurt.

A bit disingenuous here. At best it describes people who in comparison do not present w/ life threatening presentations/conditions & whose progress in therapy is more difficult to measure. It's a sign of ethical maturity when a therapist decides who to treat & who to refer out.
