Nobody is straight or gay anymore. The operational system of total control (postmodernity) has completely neutralized the subject's mediated relation to its object (ex: your relation to a partner mediated by the referent of sexuality). You are only ever experiencing pleasure through virtual simulation models, and your own sexuality is a self-referential tautology with total reversibility. It is no longer a matter of a stable sexuality based on difference, but a sexuality in the utopia of joiussance which only answers to the master of ineluctable pleasure. Sexuality presupposes the possibility of a subject, but this subject and its various intensities disappear into the inertial black hole of objectification, fetishism, and passivity. Sexuality without a subject is a paradoxical and teleological assertion of sexual determinacy, pure symbolic fantasy in which sexuality pretends to be its own justification. Sex is but another mode through which society stages its spectacle.

The simulation models stage the recovery of some lost referent, whether on the basis of a puritanical or biological interpretation of history (see post >>4053775). But this is a purely semiological strategic deployment of the signifier “sexuality” and all of the anthropological metaphysics that accompany it. Sexuality as signification has been consummated in the simultaneous determinacy and indeterminacy (reversibility) of its actuality due to the hegemony of jouissance as unmediated and impartial sexual pleasure. The freely floating system of referents, of which sexuality is a part, merely serves the functional purpose of dissimulating the fact that referents do not refer outside of a certain tautological metaphysic. That is to say, referents do not exist outside of their own self-referential and speculative play. Sexuality has staged its own resurrection to mask its very disappearance.

The society of total control refers to the present state of administrative and technocratic domination that maintains global hegemonic status. A society of total control signifies the death of symbolic exchange and the extermination of the referent, as well as its subsequent operationalized resurrection. The subject was still epistemically possible in a world of symbolic exchange. But the bio political technostructure, which has murdered symbolic exchange (a perfect crime which cannot be imputed to any single individual or group), has assured the reification of a subject on the basis of a totally reversible(indeterminate and determinate) and virtualized referent.

Again, it seems you're focussing on technical terms rather than attempting to communicate an actual point to the layman.

Either you understand what you're saying and you can communicate it in general terms, or you're just hiding behind curated terms such as 'subsequent operationalised resurrection' and 'bio political technostructure (perhaps you know what these terms mean, that doesn't mean they are common and understandable terms). You, to me, seem to me as if you are perhaps a CIA agent filling out a post-status report that he wishes to become as disassociated with as possible.

For example, you could have just said 'The NWO represents the end of individuality', but you chose not to for some reason, as if you NEED words to bolster your opinion somewhat.

There are some noticeable differences between Freud's and Plato's theory of the tripartite psyche, though there are strong (and fascinating) similarities.

e.g. Plato's Logos seems to be more natural and 'pure' than Freud's ego. Nevertheless both authors claim at some point that it is the more argumentative, self-critical part of the psyche.

Plato tells the story of a man who does not wish to look at a dead body but wills himself to anyhow, subsequently calling his eyes whores, in order to explain the bottom part of the psyche, what would align rather with Freud's Id.

Finally, the thumatic part of the psyche for Plato (superego for Freud) seems to wish for approval by others and for status in society, which Freud would probably relegate more towards the ego. Still, both seems to concur that this part of the soul is where social mores manifest.

They won't know that, in "The Interpretation of Dream", Freud correctly suggested that psychic determinism was so all encompassing that one couldn't actually choose a random number. It had to be determined by that current web of association in the mind.

well, you can't really say it isn't
humans have been around for millions of years
our species specifically for like 200,000
civilization has been around maybe 15,000 at the most

also, what is it with people being really fucking moronic about the whole "we're not animals" shit? it's really fucking frustrating because it's really unscientific, and it's sorta bullshit, because plenty of animals have monogamy, plenty of people fuck a lot of other people, and really the only thing that separates us is language.

where he got his ideas and what he did in his spare time is a whole other conversation. for now you should be strictly concerned with his ideas and teachings. then again that should be obvious and you're probably just a troll. or at least hopefully you are.

Well sure it's wacky but so is Nietzsche. The thing is that his work was revolutionary and like most revolutions it went too far but that doesn't mean that it's all useless. Newton was into alot of shit that hasn't held up so well over time either but we don't disregard everything on that basis. And just because the Newtonian paradigm hasn't held up to the innovative work of his successors doesn't mean that his work didn't pave the way for later breakthroughs..

Anyway, if for nothing more than his influence in the arts he is worthy of serious praise.. but really, you have to consider his work in the context it was written; it might be wacky (as new ideas are) but it shouldn't be hard to see why it was taken seriously.

>> No.4057620

>>4057619
Also, people always get hung up on the theories of his that were disproven (most of them, and particularly the more specific ones) but fail to aknowledge that the central shifts in thought or ideas he introduced are still relevant and haven't been disproved: the idea of an unconscious aspect of the psyche, repressed drives, psychoanalysis, the idea that sex and violence are important/basic elements of human nature.
At least that's the way I see it though admittedly I'm not too well versed in his work.

>> No.4057635

>well, you can't really say it isn't
Yes you can because by calling it an abnormality in this way he was saying that it was wrong/bad and needed to be abolished. I say civilization is not an abnormality in this sense. You seem to have interpreted this apart from the context and intended meaning. Sure, I suppose you can't say it isn't an abnormality in the sense that human civilization is not the norm and therefore abnormal, but human civilization did evolve naturally through the course of events which happened (the normal course of events) so in that sense it is normal. It is normal because human civilization is what happens in this universe. In this universe it would be abnormal for it not to happen then, no?

>saying "we're not animals" is moronic
depends on what the person means by animal.
If they mean in a biological sense then they'd be wrong but they probably don't so then it would be your fault for misinterpreting them.. It seems you have an unconscious desire to assume the most moronic interpretation of another's words to be the correct one, presumably to the luxury of your then inflated ego. What would Freud say?...

To be honest, if you wake up at 1PM and stop eating at 5PM, you'll probably become thin very quickly. (Unless you spend those four legal hours in an all-you-can-eat buffet.)

The sensation of an asshole wrapped around your dick is objectively different to that of a vagina and those two sensations are different from the one caused by a plastic vagina. Plus, the localized sensation in the erogenous zone might be identical (lets say your dick inside a male's asshole or a female one might be identical) but the chemical reaction in the brain (and therefore the rest of the pleasure) might be entirely different if you are aware of their sex.

I've read a bit of Freud and didn't come away with much of use. the prose (in translation) was excellent, really engaging, but the ideas were shaky. That said their are things that have stuck with me, perhaps more than I'd care to admit: sublimation, the id/ego/superego thing. Eros and thanatos etc. Yes it is mumbo jumbo but concepts are not eternal truths they are temporary formations, tools. Jung taught me that and he was more up my street. The thing is it does not all boil down to sex and Freud really does think it all boils down to sex. Jung had a clearer view of things - better appreciation of religious impulses and the nature of human irrationality. He wasn't as scared as Freud.

Freud is worth reading though and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
