Psychoanalysis and that’s pretty much it (formerly psychoanalysis and more). But still sometimes veering off into “more”

The issue with this is it still emphasizes assessing others, which is narcissistic in itself. I think a better test is self-analysis, do I make room for others when I speak, when I listen, even and especially when the spotlight is on me?
One of the most effective ways to determine the degree of another's narcissism is to reflect on how you feel in their company. If you feel genuinely heard, respected & valued (if they're able take a deep interest in you), it's unlikely they have high narcissistic tendencies...1/2

“the idea that knowledge can make a whole is, if I may say so, immanent to the political as such. This has been known for a long time. The imaginary idea of the whole… has always been used in politics by the party of political preaching.” -Howard Rouse & Sonia Arribas

I used to spend my summer (and all other seasons) doing fun things like drugs. Now I do this. How far we’ve fallen.

“Psychoanalysis cannot therefore promise fusion, but as long as it leads the subject to recognise himself in his fundamental symptom and not in membership of the groups that are prescribed for him, it allows, one by one, this ‘exit’ from the capitalist discourse” -Colette Soler

The best point he’s made on this current run. Everything is performance now AKA I need eyes on me (whether real or virtual) while I do quite literally anything.
Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

This is right. The true goal of psychoanalysis is to, simply, care about yourself a bit less (maybe the most un-simple thing). But I don’t think it can happen by working with an analyst that does not make a difference between a transferential unconscious and a Real unconscious.
healed so much that I stopped caring about being healed enough

"Whoever chooses philosophy as a profession today must first reject the illusion that earlier philosophical enterprises began with: that the power of thought is sufficient to grasp the totality of the real." - Adorno, The Actuality of Philosophy (1931)

To be fair, “In spite of all efforts to understand his philosophy, it seems to me that all of it, or almost all, is just words” is an incredible line.

Can forgive the thesis-antithesis-synthesis talk in I Love Boosters because that movie was wild in the best possible way. Boots is the man.

I would really like to see Lacanians write for a group of people that are not also Lacanians. Not in terms of publishing or marketing only, but in the actual writing. Elevate desire in people for why it’s important.

“truth of the Gospel is not imposed from above, but grows over time within the concrete interweaving of lives, communities and cultures. This is not a truth that fears diversity, but instead welcomes and guides it. It does not eliminate conflicts, but transforms them” -Leo XIV
