Jesu, meine Freude


When executed properly, this infusion of meaning creates a covetous relationship between your brand and the prospect's self-identity. To choose otherwise would be a form of emotional suicide. #

A century after Freud and Jung first compared size of their respective coglioni, their systems, interpretive languages, and feral mechanisms of survival are making it bigtime in the entrancingly redundant world of bullshit about branding. More just now the Prussic Herr Jung. That self you thought was tapping into archetypes? That's just bran gnou. More at Mystic Bourgeoisie.

Dream diagnosis

"As late as 1910, Professor Wilhelm Weygandt, who had reviewed The Interpretation of Dreams in 1901, not very generously, could exclaim to the Hamburg Congress of Neurologists and Psychiatrists that Freud's theories were a matter not for discussion at a scientific gathering, but for the police." Peter Gay, Freud: A Life for Our Time.




Further:
"The Americans, [Freud] told Sandor Rado, "transfer the democtratic principle from politics into science. Everybody must become president once, no one must remain president, none may excel before the others, and thus all of them neither learn nor achieve anything."

of USians:
"This race, he once told his physician Max Schur, "is destined to extinction. They can no longer open their mouths to speak; soon they won't be able to do so to eat."
