[In our current Lebenswelt, all word reference is socially constructed.

This poses a hidden weakness for people who think they are rational, sensible, practical, pragmatic, and so on. These are the people who think that they are right because they make sense.

What is their weakness?

Their stance does not allow them to see below their feet.

They cannot see (or even admit) that they stand on a social construction.

These are the useful idiots of every revolution.]

[In our current Lebenswelt, an adult encounters a diversity of symbolic orders unmoored from a clear sense of reference.

This poses a question:

What if we were adults in a world with a clear sense of reference?

What if we were adults who never saw a symbolic order that differed from our band’s symbolic order?

Would we be like children, as innocent as Adam and Eve?

Would our minds operate smoothly according to evolution’s manual?]

[Freud’s model describes the human psyche in a fashion that matches an intersection.

What does this imply?

Maybe, once upon a time, the id, superego and ego worked like a functioning engine. The ego was the perspective that brought the situation-based superego (conforming to social rules and traditions) into relation with the possibility of the id (expressing the desires of the individual).

Now, we are broken. We do not operate according to our evolutionary manual. Our evolutionary trajectory has been derailed.]

[The word ‘locomotion’ is a mash of two words ‘location’ and ‘motion’.

It derives from the Latin words locus (or place) and motivus (causing to move).

Yet, the slang word ‘loco’ means ‘crazy’.

Freud’s model combines the two images by describing the human psyche in a fashion that matches an intersection. Consider the following two blogs.]

[I don’t want to go too far off track.

But, it seems that the interscope and intersection take me in different directions.

One applies when the steam engine is working.

One applies when the steam engine is not working properly.

Is there a method to Frued’s metaphorical madness?]
