– Movies:
“Marriage Story”
Why this title?!
Did they ever try marital counseling before going for divorce? Doesn’t look like a couple who’s beyond hope.
Commitment cannot survive, if chemistry & communication are not nurtured. Is adjustment a fourth element or is it also a part of communication?

“Ford vs. Ferrari”
WOW! Action-drama
Passion – I don’t know if I will ever find mine, before it’s too late……
Maybe I am called to transcend purpose itself, but I might not be up to that level of crazy.
My 7,000 rpm ~ stoned (weed)
I’m Ken miles, leading and then accompanying, the other 2 Ford drivers (Chris, Solan, Shanthuru, etc.) – is this just hubris??

– “All I know is that I am not a Marxist.” – Karl Marx

21.1.20

– I’m neither a conformist nor an activist.
Maybe that’s why I’m depressed……!
Most people find happiness by losing themselves in certain things (roles, values, activities, achievements, relationships, etc.), but maybe I am called to suffer living with myself forever.
One can only look at oneself naked in the mirror for so long, without going insane……

Form ~ unconscious

– Pornography & the Lacanian image-inary
Developmental psychology
Vs.
The symbolic self (Lacanian arbitrary/slippery/tentative ego)

24.1.20

– TV series:
“Mr. Robot”
Psycho-analysis, cyber-world & multiverse – could all this be overlapping somehow?
An explicit, articulated & evolving theory/theology/spirituality, along with the personal, relational & political aspects of the story, could make it more complete…
Just as psychology can be seen as the basis of philosophy, the opposite is also true!
Sentimentality is meaningful only in the context of ultimate concern(s).
