Romance as Rebellion - On Freud on Love
Sigmund Freud is generally remembered idiosyncratically for his concentration, not on love, but sex. Psychoanalysis, it is quipped, makes everything about sex. I was surprised then, to read #freud refer to the libido, not as a sexual force, but one of love - “Love-force, the libido of psychoanalysis” (p. 30) he calls it. In all the dimly lit, mahogany and marble-incrusted obscurity of the #psychoanalytic image, Freud was a lover. And in Group #Psychology y & The Analysis of the #Ego , Freud reminds us of the unique connective power of dyadic heterosexual #love .
From the psychoanalytic perspective, when sexual impulses do not find their explicit resolution, they morph into the spectrum of ...

How does this style of thought fit in with the pragmatic, mechanistic, and mathematical decision-making model of Active Inference?

The Lacanian Real (Slavoj Zizek’s “The Antagonism is the Real”)
Просмотров 2243 месяца назад
Zizek explains that, although you can never quite put your finger on the Real by accurately representing it with symbols (because it is a void-like essence that defies objectification), it paradoxically “exercises a certain structural causality, it can produce a series of effects in the symbolic reality of subjects” (Zizek, 2019, p. 183). As such, the antagonism between the obscurity of Lacan’s...
Slavoj Zizek - The Sublime Object of Ideology

But Zizek’s most salient influence is the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan who wrote extensively in the 1950s-1970s and integrated the structural and linguistic concepts popular at the time with traditional Freudian #psychoanalysis. In Lacanian theory, ideology is separated from the Real ...

      @@TWMoore There's been a revolution in epigenetics, not so much genetics, over the past 20 years. Back when I worked on the Human Genome Project in the early 1990s the canon was that most of DNA was _junk,_ but it isn't. It comprises the control structures that determine which protein-coding genes are expressed due to environment, including _in utero._ Robert Sapolsky points out that political affiliation is 70% heritable (not inheritable). I don't know exactly what that means, but I think the details of politics would be barking up the wrong gum tree anyway. As a cognitive linguist/scientist I'm looking for the underlying mechanism, which is only peripherally related to actual ideology, too indirect to draw conclusions. What I think generally is that there are different modes, which I oversimplify to two. One is for times of plenty, and optimal survivability involves generosity and coöperation. The other for times of hardship involves authoritarianism. _E.g._ diet does not determine but motivates the mode. This is consistent with _e.g._ Axelrod's work with The Prisoners' Dilemma. The optimal solution for personal profit is Tit for Tat biased toward forgiveness, but even people who understand the math try to cheat, even when there is real money involved. There is also the fairly recent discovery that oxytocin enhances in-group nurturing and also hostility to other groups, which is interesting.

      Have you read Johnathan Haidt’s The Righteous Mind? He roots political leanings in pre-conscious valence, a subtle approach/avoid tendency. This is likely determined by early childhood experience (programmed in the developing pre-affective brain) and social reinforcement at the biological level in the form of subconscious amygdalic reaction to rejection threat by the dominant value system. This very subtle approach/avoid dichotomy, when brought to awareness in explicit consciousness, can be a jumping off point for moderating oneself. However, I believe it can be muted by social contagion.

    • @deadman746
      @deadman746 15 дней назад

      @@TWMoore Yes I have. Haidt has much improved over the decades, but I generally prefer sources with more detailed neuroscience and epigenetics. Childhood experience is not the only factor-separated-at-birth studies show similar results, suggesting significant _in utero_ effects. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find more specific results than _stress hormones_ in general. My own computer simulations suggest that there is something going on with the attention and focus mechanisms of the frontal gyrus. There are only a few things that can pay attention to at once. When some are devoted to _e.g._ things to be afraid of, there are fewer for _e.g._ language. Thus, the brain is less good at understanding puns and sarcasm and less able to look for ways to interpret speech in good faith. Some of the right temporal gyrus is affected as well, especially Wernicke's area, but it is unclear whether this is a direct effect or indirect because of how Broca's area, to implement predictive coding, uses the arcuate fasciculus to test hypotheses about expressing language. When people chant slogans, it seems to me this is reduced, and people operate on what Maureen Mullarkey (great name) calls _ideological microcode._ Please note that I do not find enough evidence to map this onto any particular ideology, but it clearly does map onto rationalism.

And given man's flawed nature that's self destructive on his own according(even through an evolutionary lense), there is a universal 'fallen nature of man' in which only God can save us from, which is why Christ having to come down to bridge the human condition back to the God of objective reality makes sense, that the gospel is that the IS of material existence is aligned with the ultimate SHOULD (will of God in accordance with His creation) I go into these religious circles, especially with evangelical Christianity, and in all honesty there's this culture of willful ignorance or bombastic arrogance that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, especially as everyone becomes more atomized online and have titles like "many Christians will go to hell". It's a sick self destructive cycle of destruction in the community of ever increasing sectarianism that'll only get worse as long as the internet is there.

    An interesting perspective; a video well worth watching. ... I think it offers an seriously over optimistic view of psychoanalysis. This is the last topic in the video. The idea on offer here is that psychoanalysis, (communication) i.e., talking, can reverse errant and harmful misinterpretations of one's environment is anything other than weak tea in terms of a remedy. Take the case of PTSD. This coming from the "shell shock" of WWI, progressing to the "battle fatigue" of WWII, and arriving at PTSD during the war in Viet Nam. The artillery shells launched on the trenches of WWI were physical realizations of the enemy's message of, "I aim (literally aim) to kill you." Even without suffering bodily injury, the shell shocked soldier developed extreme psychological distress and serious bodily dysfunction, not from the shell but from the message of the shell. The shell simply being words by other means. However, deep physiological changes occurs within the brain. These changes have to be reversed, and talk has little chance to reach such deeply embedded and strongly held hypotheses the victim holds about the dangers in his environment. Adding drugs that affect neurotransmitters attests to this and makes therapeutic sense. Unfortunately, they have little understanding of what is treatable (a small amount) and what the approach cannot change. The Free energy Principle offers the notion of "hard priors," beliefs that are virtually impervious to change. For example, the phenomenal experience of the color red. Can psychoanalysis, even with neurotransmitter medication, change a person into perceiving red objects as blue? I posit we are a long, long way, from the possibility of doing that, if it turns out we can do that at all. This is where clinical practice is a problem, offering hope where there is none. And, all too often, in their ignorance and zeal, harming the patient. One good example is pursuing conversion therapy for gender identity patients.

      Thanks for this comment! From the traumatological perspective, talk therapy’s goal is to restructure the brain such that the cascade of neurological responses to a traumatic object in consciousness are reduced. Pharmacology can support this neuroplasticity. In the example you provide, the belief that needs to be addressed is not that shells mean death, but that they represent a current threat in the individual’s environment. The goal is to disrupt the connection between traumatic memory and physiological response. From an Active Inference perspective this would mean using organismic mechanisms between client and therapist (language being only one of such mechanisms) so that the message passing systems connecting the brain and nervous system choose belief updating over bodily panic. Psychotherapy requires both client and therapist to commit to the aspiration of change. The nature of the change is determined by the client and contractualized between client and therapist at the start of treatment. The goal is the client’s experience of wellness, correlating with homeostasis in the brain. While the client may experience red as blue and the therapist blue as red - and the rest of the world something completely different - the modest goal of psychotherapy is homeostasis in the brain.

      @@TWMoore Thank you for elaborating on the process of psychoanalysis. My main concern is to its efficacy and predictability of offering a cure. In short, what can and cannot be remedied by psychoanalysis in reasonable time. Would you mind speaking to that? Again, if a healthy individual sought therapy to change everything he perceived as red to perceiving such things as blue, could psychotherapy achieve that?

      @@wp9860 It’s important to remember that psychoanalysis is only one form of talk therapy. Most of the evidence base for the effectiveness of various forms of therapy is based on self-report measures of subjective well-being. Psychological wellness can comprise a variety of perspectives or belief systems. Any explicit desire on the part of the client to alter their belief system is likely underpinned by an emotional experience. The first question to ask would be: “What makes you want to change your perception of color?” Apart from evidence from the client’s subjective experience of wellness, the neuroscientific research appears to show that there are neurobiological and neurochemical correlates of the experience of mental wellness. However, this doesn’t speak to the particulars of an individual’s belief system. See my video on the future of evidence-based psychotherapy for more about this.

    To address your question, I would like to offer the following thoughts from recent publications: As we recently proposed (Northoff and Scalabrini, 2021), the aim of a neuropsychodynamic informed psychotherapeutic process is to (i) to reverse maladaptive topographic-dynamic reorganization of brain and (ii) to establish a more adaptive and stable temporo-spatial nestedness of brain and self thereby re-establishing a proper nested hierarchy of self. This process might serve to re-establish the subjective sense of integrity, coherence, and continuity of self over time and space, “the capacity to feel like one self while being many” (Bromberg, 1996, p. 166). Consequently, healing the self and re-establishing the sense of self-continuity beyond the dissociation, conceptualized in terms of lack of integration and synchronization between the different layers of the self (Scalabrini et al., 2020), may primarily require one to re-establish or re-organize the topography and dynamic of the nested hierarchy of self and its brain through spatial and synchronic means. Thus, the therapist needs to synchronize (virtually or symbolically) her/his larger (spatial-topographic and temporal-dynamic) scales of her/his nested hierarchy of self to the more restricted of his/her patient self. These intersubjective synchrony require an authentic response finely matched to the momentary local situation to provide the client with the opportunity to intra-subjectively integrate and nest her/his own more restricted spatiotemporal scales into the larger ones of her/his therapist. This mechanism involves the intricate process of aligning the different aspects of intrasubjective and intersubjective synchronization within intero-exteroceptive and extero-proprioceptive self of both the psychotherapist and the patient. Every individual possesses an intrinsic rhythm, such as our heartbeat or breathing pattern, that is shaped by the relational alignment with the world since infancy (Trevarthen, 1993; Trevarthen & Aitken, 2001; Atzil et al., 2018, Feldman, 2007). This synchronization process can lead to entrainment, a concept referring to how we adjust to match each other's rhythmic patterns (Hall, 1983). This tendency to synchronization holds a crucial relevance in the development of the self, considering the importance of its relational dynamics with other selves (Atzil et al., 2018) that stems from mother-infant interactions (Feldman, 2007; Mucci & Scalabrini, 2021; Scalabrini, et al., 2018, 2022). In this context, psychotherapy and the psychotherapist act as facilitators in triggering a re-organization at the neuronal and psychological-emotional level in the patient through the regulation of the space and time of the therapeutic interpersonal relationship. The patient's altered emotional states are nurtured by a rhythmic oscillation between different degrees of intersubjective synchronization with the therapist. This dynamic allows for the reorganization of these emotions within a safe interpersonal temporal and spatial framework, offering a renewed perspective on the physical sensations associated with the intero-exteroceptive self. Furthermore, it reaches beyond a technical, neutral response and becomes a specific fit to a specific situation. These moments have been lived through together. That, in turn, will create the basis of a “psycho-physiological secure baseline” (refer to Northoff, 2016; Northoff et al., 2022; Scalabrini et al., 2022) to maintain a continuous and temporally extended and integrated sense of self and sense of relatedness that will allow the client to process the traumatic input relationships in a non-threatening and non-disrupting way for her/his own self way without becoming fragmented or dissociated. This result in a re-organization of the border between order and chaos, of coherence and complexity. The therapist and the patient have created an expanded intersubjective field that opens up new possibilities of ways of being with one another. We propose to use temporo-spatial coordinates in the psychotherapeutic setting to work within the transference-countertransference matrix of the therapist-patient dyad. Working through synchrony, space, self-relatedness, and affective regulation might provide a more comprehensive, basic, and extensive operating field that also embeds and contains affective, social, cognitive functions within a larger more comprehensive context. This process aims to shape the temporal dynamic flow of the patient’s neural and psychic activities to re-organize the traumatized self and consequently change the patient’s baseline organization of the self and its spontaneous psychic and neuronal activities (Northoff and Panksepp, 2008; Scalabrini et al., 2018, 2022; Mucci, 2021a,b; Northoff et al., 2022).

    100% agree with this. I think mental illness is a perfectly normal and expected reaction to trauma caused by parents and other narcissists, and stress cause by a society run by narcissists. I have seen the effects of childhood trauma on my siblings from by two narcissistic parents. I was the oldest of six and escaped with a pleaser, fixer mentality. I married a narcissist. That was my suffering but my other siblings had it much worse. The youngest two in particular - one who was utterly neglected as a child was bi polar and died last year aged 45 and the other is an alcoholic, borderline and has had a hard time all her life. ALL mental issues are caused by environment. No one will ever persuade me otherwise.
