Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

But they aren't, is the problem.
Drunks Against Mad Mothers
Yeah... they really aren't...
Drunks Against Mad Mothers
Frued doesn't do "psychology" so much as he offers a critique of human sexual economy. He does for sexuality the same thing that Marx did for labor economy. That is what most philosophers do: critique an economy. (Economy itself comes from the Greek word "oikeiv" -- to dwell.) They analyze the productions and matter of the places in which we dwell. Heidegger -- the dwelling itself; Marx -- political working; Hume -- the dwelling in just things; Hegel -- dwelling in abstraction; Frued -- sexual dwelling; Lacan -- the dwelling of sexual dwelling; Levi-Strass -- the dwelling within established ways to dwell; Derrida -- how much we can actually dwell anywhere.
It's kind of an abstraction, but I find that it helps.
I get really tired of this discussion, but yeah, so much failure.
I can say that about pretty much every band. Contemporary rock music is basically Kraftwerk + New Order + My Bloody Valentine.
I can expand this genesis if you would like, to the droning of La Monte Young, the repeated cells of the California school, etc. Contemporary Rock music is pretty much a simpler version of minimalist classical music.
I should really fix that sometime
Does anybody like Metric.
I'd recommend Steve Reich if you want some hardcore minimalism. Phillip Glass tends to be a little bit too bourgeois -- he tries to be ateleological, but he always creates these little progressive melodies within the cells. It's awesome, and might be better to slide into minimalism, but Steve Reich is where it's at.
The group.
man, you suck at that
a better answer would be
He wasn't a "psychologist."
He was a physician who drew his information from clinical cases.
Despite the errors inherent in single case studies, I do actually enjoy the manner in which he put forth his arguments. And he was really bright for his time. There are some concepts, or ways of thinking, that are used today, without ascribing to the theory. The ways of thinking are useful but the theory not so much.
Did you know he used sexual terms precisely to infuriate and cause controversy? Freud's sexual isn't really referring to sex. It's more like what we would consider sensual. Tactile pleasure, touching a nice puppy, etc. But he used sexual deliberately, because he was trying to essentially push out a brand new theory and decided to use something that would make people double take and then listen.
The good thing that came from him is that by using such controversial terms, he fired up all these people around him who went "What? FUCK OFF BUDDY" and then worked their ass off to prove him wrong. :lol:
He also repeatedly modified and readjusted his theory based on new information, so reading early Freud is not going to give you the full picture.
I still dislike the theory. But I don't dislike the man anymore.
I think this is what you said but, you confuse me sometimes. I really do have zero philosophical background, and you just use all these information dense words that make me go bwuh?
On the other hand, CIA boys love them some Russian-speakers.
Well I could have been more creative, but I wanted to retain the original structure.
Sorry I attacked an internet forum dweller golden calf
Yes, Putin has been rearing his head over the horizon more often lately.
Apology accepted.
But seriously, radiohead? Dude even looks like HE'S about to drop into a coma, and he's the lead singer.
Fucking Europe
Radiohead fans look down on Muse right
I like radiohead but I only listened to them before I was aware I 'supposed' to like them
Que?
I like them both.
Well, that figures.
Makes sense though. Radiohead sucking and Muse being a goood band and all. I could see how there'd be fights.
They've always gotta be like "fuck you guys, we have our own thing now".
First the EU, now this... *sigh*
This is all new to me
according to google there are 13 billion webpages that have the word 'of' in them
