and simply can't forget these guys

here's some case studies i expertly arranged from japanese material -- what the fuck is up 1985: 1987: 1989: 1991:

some of you guys are old so maybe you can tell me what happened in 1985 and why everything sounds like it was produced underwater, in a fashion that never really stopped. was it exciting at the time? to feel like that, listening to The Smiths or something?

oh no Berne was very intentionally funny. he wrote a book called "Sex in Human Loving" that's just full of jokes. Also, both Freud and Berne's models emerged from the same source, which is observation of other people. Freud tried to stay as minimally introspective as he could, although he...

I actually spent a lot of time the other day tracking down the justification for the Rorty claim I quoted above in Freud's source texts. Freud is actually quite clear that his psychical systems are NOT "quasi persons", even though he uses metaphors with that implication quite often (the actual...

well how dee

never heard of it

He offered me the best discourse money can buy.... I'm kidding, we both ended up here after college and then we met somehow.

to give a different answer, looking instead at the "nothing to them" rather than the "depression": one of the big causes of depression is the creation of a "fantasy" or "imagined" self, which you believe you are (creating grandiosity), and then occasionally fail to live up to, shattering your...

without their depression, they'd have to take personal responsibility for the fact that they just spent a month doing nothing. this is a hard pill to swallow, a lot harder than prozac, speaking from experience.
