@Apocalypaedia Lacan took Freud to mean that the ego was *way too strong* -- a fantasy which exerted a mortifying grip on desire. Ciao.

@Apocalypaedia depends what you mean by civilisation. If you mean reading/writing/science/tech, we do. Otherwise, performative contradiction

@Apocalypaedia It's up to you if you want to read it in that way, but you're just narrowing your own repertoire.

@Apocalypaedia it's a hypothesis, which some analysts have worked with (Lacan gave it a socio-linguistic grounding) and others haven't.

@Apocalypaedia Freud developed death-drive to explain repetition compulsion and other problems that homeostatic pleasure principle couldn't.

@Apocalypaedia Reich was a Freudian. (Not imo a very interesting one, but a Freudian in all his key metaphsychological assumptions).

@Apocalypaedia That's not true and clearly not rooted in any reading of Freud.

@Apocalypaedia incidentally, death drive (Trieb, not instinct), is in many ways a profoundly subversive idea. Worth thinking through.

@Apocalypaedia and there are elements of it in the Anglican version of Freudian theory (British object relations). But that's not all.

@Apocalypaedia ...that psychoanalysis can become a sophisticated form of adaption. That's essentially what 'ego psychology' became.

@Apocalypaedia I don't think it's as simple as that. The point of psychoanalysis was to let people speak without censorship.

@Apocalypaedia It's hardly fair to blame Freud for reinforcing the norm. That was not the thrust of psychoanalysis at all.
