Thinking as a partner

Not an exchange of equivalent.

“Ransom is not the concept of an exchange of equivalents : there is freedom gained.”[1]

The error of an abstraction regarding the sexes remains, the error of a false of equivalence and boredom.

Yet it is precisely one’s mistake that sets in motion the work – without automatism or devices – in order to reconstitute the relationships in the inequality, and able to redeem and offer freedom : here it is the science that Freud called ‘unconscious’.

In the picture : a detail from the anthological exhibition of Robert Doisneau (1912 - 1994) at the ‘Museo Diocesano’ of Milan, May 9 – October 15, 2023.

Just an insinuation.

“The Group, or the Mass – timeless remains for us ‘Psychology of the Masses’, by Freud - insinuates itself where there is law : it is the weeds of it. We will not try to tear them away (intolerance) but to distinguish them from wheat. Note : there is group or mass when a Leader as an Ideal or Object – the individual person may even be missing - replaces one’s thinking in the grammatical subject ‘I’…”[3]

Weeds enjoy a disconcerting bonhomie which is that of their presumed primary innocence to make their own error non-existent (albeit one that brings damage, and is huge) : not even naive, it is truly a gnostic illusion.

A crossroads no longer removable.

“Totalitarianism is that idea of experience and society which mandates education, and psychology, to provide such a law of motion to our bodies, denying the subjective competence in placing (a work of thinking about nature) such a legal law… In matters of being, everything is decided in connecting, or disconnecting, with work.”[3]

We represent totalitarianism to us, it is a perception and a judgement in-conscience without any unconsciousness : of all this work which we freely undertake and which we recognize as right because it makes us reach the crossroads between justice and recklessness, we can even not to do anything else with it, but we can no longer remove it though.

A gap between ‘removed’ and ‘unrealized’.

Annoying, irritating, or beneficial ? Welcome is the wind that moves the salt pane system. In the picture : a detail from the ‘Saline dello Stagnone’, Marsala (Trapani).

“… from a descriptive point of view there are two types of unconscious, while from a dynamic point of view there is only one. …The distinction between conscious and unconscious is ultimately a problem of perception, which must be answered simply with a yes or no; and the act of perception as such, tells us nothing about the reason why something is perceived or not perceived.”[2]

Little to do has one’s perceptual memory with conscious memory: however is the perceptive memory – the one we happen we don’t understand the origin, even when we find it in a night dream – which indicates to us a gap between ‘removed’ and ‘unrealized’. The first in fact as an indispensable raw material, the second as a hallucination.[3]

In short, the economic question arises – as identified first and foremost by Freud - as to whether what I pick up comes in help of me or not : where it is precisely the representation of ‘help’ which we bring to the Court of thinking, whether we admit or not.
