🎵 Tod MacGowan had a talk 🤠👻

From S. Žižek’s Frankfurt intervention was born a new concept: Analyseverbot.

The ‘ban on analysis’ is obviously modeled on the ‘ban on thinking’: Denkverbot.

Hindering thought directly may seem worse than hindering its analytical fruit/seed.

But ‘one speaks more than one thinks’ & analysis is more precious than thought.

Most of conscious thought is distorted by superego rationalization mechanisms.

Analysis proper can only emerge after subtracting the ‘critical’ aspect of thought.

Freudian ‘interpretation/free association’ requires that one suspend all criticism.

Analyseverbot is paradoxical in that it does not forbid ‘critical thought’ per se.

On the contrary, superegoic criticism is being mobilized against analysis proper.

Analyseverbot tendency was already present in the superegoism of Anna Freud.

Ego-psychology was already an Analyseverbot that disavowed Freudian analysis.

I have been writing about the widening chasm between ‘criticism vs. analysis’ [1].

Analysis takes cognitive cost, but superego prefers to ‘show blood’ as evidence.

‘Concrete evidence’ can be ‘dead bodies’ or (equivalently) showing ‘good taste’.

The model behind this is menstrual blood, which thereby became the Woke taboo.

The ‘critic with refined tastes’ is ripped off from the proper figure of the analyst.

Just like Todd McGowan blaming Freud about racism and building his own ego [2].

As states & terrorists ‘show Azrael around social media’ things turn for the worse.

Turkey’s milestones were 20 July and 10 October 2015 ISIS attacks against leftists.
