Status Updates From The Weary Sons of Freud

Been doing a lot of speed-reading today 🏃‍♀️📖

This is fucking brilliant. The writing here is staggering, it is so good, dazzling phrases and descriptions just knock you out one after another. The first chapter is probably the single most devastating evisceration of the entire modern day academic system ever written. It's also screamingly funny. It's mad, bouncing off the walls with ideas, some of it a little odd. Later chapters are not as good. But still amazing

Harsh but exciting critical theory and criticism of the regressive development of a profession. This reminds me of the pang of Chesterton and Thomas Sowell. It may well prove to be interesting in lieu of testing out the effectiveness of CBT. 'Stripping oneself of one's secret, nice little inner mythology, keeping only what can shed light, what can be transmitted...Anything that does not...is of no interest to me.'
