@JayceLong Love the effort here, but the Ontological/Epistemological split feels a bit strained for someone like Bion or Freud. Freud’s later work is deeply Ontological (the death drive isn't just "knowing," it's "being"). Mapping these 3D thinkers on a 2D plane is always a bloodbath!

Reflecting on the state of the world, I am reminded of the closing line in Man's search for meaning where Viktor Frankl writes:

So let us be alert in a two fold sense:
Since Auschwitz we know what man is capable of.
And since Hiroshima we know what is at stake.
