the coolest psychoanalytic discovery is that people unwittingly communicate things about themselves by accidentally inducing feelings in each other. and that this goes both ways between all people in all relationships. and most people are not aware of either direction.

I feel like half my TL is like "you must build god in your computer. you must sleep 4 hours a day and code for 26. you must eat cod oil." and half of it is like "my toothbrush is too sharp it gave me trauma :("

all relationships contain a doubly-confused conversation where no one knows what they or the other person is saying. like a convo between two people with tape on their mouths and earplugs in.

I'm still digesting this realization but it kind of rocks. It makes my social anxiety make so much more sense, and not just this defect. it clarifies so much about my new and old relationships, and encounters with strangers.

it's fun to think about the possible woo-analogies for this: you could say our demons or our angels are always communicating with each other and that we humans just hear the echos of those conversations in our minds. or that our vibes always create patterns of interference.

both are possible. your insecurity might induce a feeling of insecurity in another person, or it might induce a feeling of criticism, judgement of YOU in response to your insecurity, even if the other person wouldn't have otherwise felt that way about you.

the ideal humanities syllabus is:
- getting the gist of Hegel
- reading Allen Ginsberg in a park on shrooms
- Salt Fat Acid Heat
- Fong and Spivak's Applied Category Theory
- Godel Escher Bach

To be completely honest, I am totally shocked that my post about the feelings we induce in each other blew up as much as it did.
This is one of the most important I've learned about anything ever!
I had no other idea people cared about this idea as much as I do.

so much dating discourse on this website is just like 4d chess on how to avoid intimacy and the associated frustration... which like, relatable. but I think a lot of people are causing unnecessary harm by following discursive logic from the internet vs like, looking within...

almost every doctors appt I've had in my adult life went like:
- I have a problem
- I go on ZocDoc, OneMedical, or a hospital's website
- I schedule an appointment with a rando
- I describe my problems to said rando and get pills.
is this how it is for everyone? feels weird

abso-lutely. You know those people who you wouldn't have swiped right on on tinder but just make you feel so turned on and special when you talk to them? A reasonable explanation is that they are inducing their own desire in you. different for every human of course.

when I lost a ton of weight I was not looking at the scale or counting calories at all, I simply had a therapist who forced me to question my relationship with food and, probably more importantly, did Grubhub delivery on my non-electric bike as my only source of income for 6 mo.

the reason twitter makes you feel bad is that it emulates the preoedipal stage when everything was formless sensory information and it was impossible for you to outwardly discharge aggressive impulses. that's why when you read a bad tweet it literally psychically damages you

Overindexing on any one canonical definition might create more confusion that it would resolve, since psychoanalysts love to contradict each other.

A lot of people correctly pointed out that this has a lot to do with the concepts of transfernce and countertransference. Another great pair of terms to start rabbitholing with.

for example, assuming that sexual desire is just like this unquestionable, end-all force is so common when questions about cheating, monog vs. poly, attractiveness comes up and it's just like... no. all of that emanates from porn brain. you always have a choice

It's discussed in the psychoanalytic literature in terms of projective identification. Consistent with neuroscience research on mirror neurons, and research on autonomic co-regulation or synchronization

I want to continue to clarify this idea more and more. It's so hard to put into words but it feels so real to me. A bunch of people were confused by it but decided to reply anyway, which I think means there is a lot more to say... thinking

The basic summary of the book is:
Roughly half of the jobs in the world are bullshit, so we could get rid of them and divide the remainder up to have a 20 hour work week and less impact on the planet.
