Good work as usual, David. I just want to clarify the position of the super-ego in Freud’s psychoanalytic schema. So, Freud only start to mention the super-ego in his later writings after 1920. In his earlier writings, as it is commonly conceived, Freud’s theory is the theory of repression, in which the ego represses the id’s drives through various defense mechanisms. However, after his formulation of Death Drive in Beyond the Pleasure Principle in 1920, I don’t think that Freud works on the model of repression anymore. In particular, in his 1923 essay “the Ego and the Id” where he conceptualize the super-ego for the first time, Freud states that the super-ego keeps the ego in check not through repression but through appropriation of the id’s death drive and turns it against the other drives. The link between super-ego and death drive in Freud is often lost, which due to, in no small part, Foucault’s critique of psychoanalysis as the theory of repression in HOS1.
very interesting ... all these great thinkers, like Marx-Nietzsche-Freud etc synthesized and speculated on many concepts, within the realm of knowledge at their time. we must continue building on and rearranging/evolving their thinking, as is the human project. also linking our personal experience with the other (socially) and world life (ecology) in general - the ever expanding knowing of humanity's place in the vastness of all
Can you do Lacan and his changes to Freud. Anti-Oedipus would be cool to see as well! The breaking of the law preseeds the law itself, and so the breaking of the law becomes the very foundation of the law itself. I know you do philosophy and theory, but have you ever thought of doing episodes of study in theology and eastern thought? If you could please!
Omg, that’s such a good explanation. Why isn’t there more info that can actually fully explain the whole concept and more importantly why its relevant like this!? Can’t wait for the more in depth look
David's right, Freud was pessimistic about how happy anybody can realistically expect to be, but he imagined that a healthy adult will have an Ego (the Ego, by the way, is the conscious part of the psyche) that has mastered both the repressive Superego and the rebellious Id, according to what Freud termed the Reality Principle. There is so much good about Freud ! His later four or five books, which are short and written for general readership, are amazing. Yes, he was a man of his time. And it wasn't pretty. He knew that. Freud understood himself fairly well. Freud's daughter Anna contributed very greatly by extending Freud's ideas into Object Relations Theory (much less patriarchal and sexist) and she also elaborated the Ego defense mechanisms into a clinically valid whole that we still apply today. "Projection much?" That was her theoretical work. Her practice centered on children and childhood development, and child psychology. The developmental psychologist Erik Erikson worked for Anna Freud instead of going to college and graduate school. His theory of the stages of life and their goals is widely accepted, has been used by other developmental psychologists and has become part of our folk wisdom. As a teenager/young adult, did you have an "identity crisis?" The other neo-Freudian woman who took Freud's ideas to fruition was the psychiatrist Karen Horney who single-handedly developed modern psychotherapy and reformed Freudian theory into a more egalitarian and much less sexist system. She was a First Wave feminist. About Erich Fromm -- yes! she was! his girlfriend! And I'm sure she influenced his development as a psychologist. Everybody knows Erich Fromm, but Karen Horney is overlooked now. She wrote several volumes on her interpersonal theories, and put down her self-analysis in book form. I might be good reading for anyone who has a similar neurosis to hers.
yes, life is a continuous journey, in both joy and suffering ... the current crisis is the denial of death, the obsession on the individual, and not having a healthy perspective, which should be along the lines of; each person is a link in a grand continuity of livingness, as such is the natural order
To defend Freud here, theory is an attempt to analyse real conditions. So I think it's more so that patriarchy is at the core of society rather than just being a fault on Freud's part
one has to work in one's milieu, socially or otherwise (ideologically, etc) ... all knowledge is part of a larger scaffolding of building blocks. the drives and wills of males are real, how we characterize them socially can be protean.
all narrative is psychological ... but those are interesting examples, based around a certain harsh characterization of masculinity, etc. ... my show is Severance
@@clumsydad7158 if you watch them you’ll understand what I mean. Succession is particularly explicit, in all ways. It uses crude language to disguise references to phenomena such as the phallus and Oedipus complex, but it’s all there. I think severance uses facets of Freud, but only as a jumping off point. The show is fully plot driven, unlike the two I mentioned which are primarily focused on character. Although there is SOME plot as they are tv shows.
its like you are saying the id is the source, like a cup of water, but with sand in it (stuff society doesnt allow), and the ego is a filter that keeps the sand out, the ego knows what the sand is because of the super ego which it is trying to copy. The super ego is an internal representative of a "perfect" external entity, so like, if I idealised david hasselhoff for instance, I would wear skin tight jeans and black t-shirt with a leather jacket, be "cool" and drive a cool talking car. However if the ego ideal suddenly becomes "unideal" for instance, gets photographed drunkenly munching on a burger by his kid does my ego. stop allowing me to be Hasselhoff? How does the super ego control the id?

Luckily for you, he's done almost 4 hours of content on Anti-Oedipus

you look like a photo of an early 20th century scientist (in the best way)
Could we have some follow up to this via Anti-Oedipus? I think that would make a great companion video!
He has an anti-oedipus series already

Thank you for this super helpful video, as usual. Also, love the new (?) background.
Great job David!
Keep up the good work i love the fact that you do still upload even though you do not have a huge audience base
If you lock the exposure on your camera (application), you'll have less lighting problems.
I agree with Deleuze and Guattarri that Freud made an error by designating it “the Id” instead of just “Id/It.”
David Sir I request you to please make videos on critical posthumanism and posthuman ecology theories. Please it would mean a lot to me please.
cool, prob a lot of available elsewheres on youtube, etc

freud's theory naturalizes patriarchal relations, it doesn't merely describe them.
one has to work in one's milieu, socially or otherwise (ideologically, etc) ... all knowledge is part of a larger scaffolding of building blocks. the drives and wills of males are real, how we characterize them socially can be protean.
Can you go on to explain this in the use of storytelling... namely tv shows like succession and mad men?
all narrative is psychological ... but those are interesting examples, based around a certain harsh characterization of masculinity, etc. ... my show is Severance

the philosophy of being david hasselhoff .... hey, i would prob buy that book !! (-:
MY MOTHER?!?!? ^^
(Otherwise, yeah, pretty on-point.)
More like WHERE is the id, ego, and superego?
more like HOW is the id, ego and superego. nobody ever asks how they are, tsk tsk They got issues too, man! lol
