I’m reminded about a short back and forth you and Ryan had on an episode of Why Theory where you talked about having a college professor who was (symbolically?) misaligned and thus was able to change your mind about some things. I’ve always found this idea interesting but it was never expanded upon. How would this relate to argumentation through/around enjoyment? Does symbolic alignment predispose someone to assuming similar modes of enjoyment?
I was just thinking about how I've heard your position on why "raising awareness" never works, but I can never exactly remember your argument for why this is the case. This video kind of sums it up, right? Awareness raising doesn't work because it's not engaging the subject at the level of enjoyment. So, in a sense, this is a dialectical reversal of the ubiquitous line which (the insufferable) Ben Shapiro is most known for: "Facts don't care about your feelings." If we are psychoanalytically-minded we see that facts ONLY care about your feelings. 😆
You are an inspiration.
Always a pleasure.
I am so interesting to hear you. Hope Meet soon from new one❤
Beautiful as always!
I was able to correct the joke along with you at the end. Really happy this is landing somewhere in my skull!
I thought the punchline would be “it was Lenny.”
My favourite strikes again

Yeah, I think the symbolic alignment typically is the result of having similar modes of enjoyment, not the other way around
I think we can all find a way to agree without being agreeable
So, God in our era must be Analyst, not Master.
1:41 honestly, I just tune into McGowan to listen to him explain a joke and then I’m good.
Gin Rummy would say that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence

Right, one might say that consciousness raising forgets about the unconscious
not good news if, like me, you think that evidence's conforming to one's form of enjoyment is very orthogonal to good evidential reasons lol
Trump 2024! Now psychoanalyze me based only on that.
