Defend sex; dethrone the kingdoms of natural ends.

@Reecepbcups_ Why lie?

Operations doesn't have an X account. One Ops member described your proposals as "completely random."

There was no prior "public discussion" through any Department for any of the proposals.

If you feel the Charter doesn't apply to you, leave Juno or grow up.

[Couch, Department of Psychoanalysis @DeptOfPsych]

@KevinGarrison @Andr3_Go @Reecepbcups_ Nobody is buying Juno for v18. 😂

Maybe @KevinGarrison who used Juno's Community Pool to cut fat checks to Aqua DAO should stop LARPing as a guru for what Juno needs.

Up 500+% since Charter went public while the cost of Reece's employment drove price to ATL month after month.

@14JUN1995 And worse I may be yet: the worst is not
So long as we can say "This is the worst."

[Couch, Department of Psychoanalysis @DeptOfPsych]

@14JUN1995 The difference between Freud and Jung/Adler is not about retroactivity vs belatedness—it's about the primacy of sexuality (hence fantasy) over and against the alleged primacies of nature (Adler) and culture (Jung).

See Freud's "The History of the Psycho-Analytic Movement."

[Couch, Department of Psychoanalysis @DeptOfPsych]

@14JUN1995 ?

Most historians of psychoanalysis identify its birth with Freud's rejection of the seduction theory and valorization of fantasy.

Moreover, "Constructions in Analysis" should disabuse anyone of the idea that Freud was after "real, causally affective, empirical events."

Economy for Lacanians.

[Neta DAO Academy @NetaDAO_Academy]

We’re back TONIGHT with Session 2.1: Economy!

Is the body a model of property? Are pleasure and pain economic? Are economy and politics separable?

Join us as we review the development from the Ancient Greek oikonomia to our latter-day GDP calculations: https://t.co/8eLtgnmgAL

@14JUN1995 Freud

[Lacan Circle Of Australia @lacancircle]

“Psychoanalysis is something else. What exactly? I define it as a symptom – one that reveals the discontents of the civilisation in which we are living. It is certainly not a philosophy. I abhor philosophy; it has been such a long time since it has ...

[Couch, Department of Psychoanalysis @DeptOfPsych]

@h_blaubear There is a new 'annotated' edition which includes some useful source material and commentary, but it remains an essay I prefer reading about. Maybe essays on law are difficult to read in later contexts given the law's tendency when it advances to suppress its alternatives?

[Badiou @beingandevent]

“In the final analysis, psychoanalytic theory thinks the great categories unpinning the subjective tress: the letter, the identity of inertia, the meshwork of the Same by the Other, the operatory plurality of the identical, the image.”
—Briefings on Existence

[Couch, Department of Psychoanalysis @DeptOfPsych]

@14JUN1995 (Fanon, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, Lacan, Derrida, Deleuze, Guattari, Irigaray, Cixous, Nancy, Agamben, Virno, Malabou, Badiou, Balibar, Lefort, Laclau, and more, and all those who cite/respond to them—it's almost impossible to enter Theory without passing through Berggasse 19.)

[Couch, Department of Psychoanalysis @DeptOfPsych]

@14JUN1995 (This is also evident in the bibliographies of most of those projects—even if they don't directly read Freud (rare!), they regularly cite close readers and readings of Freud. If anyone asked me for the secret key or single author to 'unlock' Theory, I would have to say Freud.)

[Couch, Department of Psychoanalysis @DeptOfPsych]

@14JUN1995 In these disturbances, the transcendental, however obscurely or fleetingly, becomes empirical; they register the human's exposure to an infinitude—probably the infinitesimal—that overwhelms and fatigues it (or at least its capacity for contemplative absorption).

[Couch, Department of Psychoanalysis @DeptOfPsych]

@14JUN1995 Both cut to the same point: not simply that there is ontological difference, but more importantly that ontological difference—whether you call it being/Being or individual/species or living/Life or parole/langue or etc—disturbs the very difference it makes.
