Very dobby viddy! The phrase "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is possibly a shibboleth like "Who will help the widow's son?" It appears in the Laurel & Hardy movie 'Sons of the Desert' (1933) when they travel to a Masonic convention. The famous saying seemingly originated in James Howell's 'Proverbs' (1640). Interestingly, Howell's final work was 'The Venice Looking Glass' which is suggestive of affinities with EWS
Wow! thanks for the hints! I hadn't considered the Laurel and Hardy instance. Kubrick references Chaplin several times, so I think it is possible!! And yes! The venice connection! Need to explore these. Thank you so much.
I do think that there is something cryptographic going on with the concept of THOUSAND....FMJ thousand yard stares/1000 faces/2001...I'll figure it out one day....probably has to do with something eschatological.
@@lajphd Do you really think so? I think it is simply an artifact of humans representing numbers in base 10, since we began keeping count with fingers. 100 is below the Dunbar number and is easy to visualize or geometrically conceptualize in the brain. Primitive man has seen a 100 sheep, 100 planted crops, and a 100 fellow tribesmen with his own eyes for many (many) years. A 1,000 is the equivalent of "too many."
Jung struggled with Joyce. Don't ask Jung about Finnegans Wake lol. Joyce had a daughter who was suffered from Schizophrenia (think she did have a relationship with Samuel Beckett too). Jung did treat her but was not successful...think this soured relations between Jung & Joyce. If you do some digging on Google...my assertions can be validated. Joseph Campbell is the best conduit for Joyce & Jung
@@lajphd You're welcome. I stumbled across the video by chance (synchronicity as Jung would say lol). Beckett, Joyce (Some thing about Irish writers...that make them the best in the English language). I am pretty sure Jung never did an essay (like he did with Ulysses). But as you can imagine...if he didn't like that he definitely would not like the wake. Think there are a few disparaging quotes...will try and find out where. Have you read either Ulysses or Finnegans Wake (or tried it)?
I think I forgot to mention during our talk that one of the droogs wears a pinocchio mask in clockwork orange....I always found it very interesting that Nixon, president during the apollo missions, was known for his protruding proboscis.

Great insights
Thanks for the thought-provoking presentation (from someone who knows a bit about Joyce but not enough yet about Jung)
you are very welcome! I enjoy Joyce, but I obviously have much to learn about both figures!
Hero with 2001 Faces?
Two heroes plus one.

Maybe we have to switch lexicons. Thousand is mille/milia in Italian/Latin

Also, interesting quote at the start...I really like what McLuhan said about the Artist. 'The Artist being the antenna of the human race
