Between Desire and Drive

Really helpful insight! Love your simplicity brother, even on complicated topics.

Oh man, my child has been playing these “absence-presence” games quite a bit lately. Makes me wonder how to handle them. One very cute one is when she tells me “you’re my not-best friend” right before bursting into a giggle-fit. 3 is a fun age, I love watching her play around with negations and creating her own little linguistic and psychological games.

Bedazzled is awesome! "cocaiinaa!!"

How does this differ to the three levels of the ego, the superego and the id ? Or is it the same?

(puts on movie nerd hat) In Bedazzled, Elizabeth Hurley is the Devil, and Brandon Fraser is the one who sells his soul to her for seven wishes.

Ha! I pride myself in always butchering my pop cultural references! Hopefully I didn’t get it completely wrong! From what I remember, the protagonist keeps trying to give the woman he desires what she wants, and it keeps backfiring.

@@TheOrthodoxHeretic Your references are great! (The thing about the movie I remember most is both how truly smart and delightfully dumb the bits are ... being a popular and skilled basketball player , but with a very very small .... package ... , having loads of money .... but because of being a drug lord. It really is a perfect movie for explaining some of your points!)
