A lot of people say ontological when they probably mean ontic, and a lot of people say epistemological when they probably mean epistemic. Makes you think.

As a man let me say, yeah pretty much

[average lady @girlcloudnine]

ok here's the trick to having a healthy relationship with a man: he should be a communist and also a little gay

[Ben @misrecognitions]

This was also true back in… erm, 2021

Back in my day (grad school —2013) they assigned us prompts for our comprehensive exams. The exams were, if I recall correctly, 3-4 hours. You would get assigned a computer not connected to the internet while proctor looked over your shoulder. I wrote 26 pages. Passed.

I open this damn app and look at my timeline, and I feel my IQ dropping and my blood boiling, and yet I keep opening it again every day like some masochistic freak.

Calculated that I only have to work 12 more months in community mental health to finish my licensure and my god I hope I make it that long

Actually instead of telling people to exercise, just tell them to become charitable, start volunteering. Or tell them to have a better romantic relationship and improve their education. Just tell them what they need to do. They probably haven’t heard this yet. Maybe a haircut.

“What realizes itself in my history is not the past perfect of what was since it is no longer, not even the present perfect of what has been in what I am, but the future perfect of what I will have been for what I am in the process of becoming.”

Lacan ✌️

[Dr Ana M @OnNegation]

"If the psychoanalyst thinks he knows something, in psychology for example, then that is already the beginning of his loss, for the simple reason that in psychology nobody knows much, except that psychology is itself an error of perspective on the human being."

Jacques Lacan

My absolute favorite Freud essay.

“We shall build up again all that war has destroyed, and perhaps on firmer ground and more lastingly than before.”

[Lacan in Australia @LacanInAust]

“It is impossible for human beings to accede to an experience of totality, because they are divided and ripped apart, no analysis being able to restore totality.”

Jacques Lacan, Seminar VI, Desire and Its Interpretation, page 218

I told someone at work the other day that they should not read histories of psychiatry written by physicians and they looked at me totally perplexed

[j. mamana @jrmamana]

scientists are among the worst people to talk to about science because they just have totally uncritical views on what’s going on. they’re like athletes who thank god and when asked talk about how they do it they say they try just to hit the ball

Adorno: ‘tenderness between people is nothing other than an awareness of the possibility of relations without purpose’ ❤️
