Simon Keller, Patriotism in War and Peace
Patriotism is most fervently displayed in times of war and impending war. Even during times of peace, patriotism is often expressed in commemorations of war and in ceremonies involving the military. Is patriotism warlike? Does patriotism lust for violence? Or is there an achievable form of patriotism grounded in respect for humanity in general, and aimed at achieving peace? This talk traces a series of philosophical arguments about the connection between patriotism and war, asking along the way what values and beliefs characterise patriotism, how patriotism is cultivated and used, and how patriotism is manifested in Australia. The great danger of patriotism, I suggest, is not so much its inherent connection with violence as its tendency to suppress reason - and hence its tendency to suppress a crucial form of protection against ill-considered and unjustified war.

    The ‘dadoucos’ is the symbol of porn, or somebody else getting it good: the primal horde. It is not about your parents; that would be Onanistic. How they manipulated people is by using the symbols of the English and German Golden Dawn Society of ritual magic to excite people. The Beatles weren’t yet thought of, and without knowing how good Dead shows were at this they chose a more purple and puerile frequency to inspire the Mass into the famous Alice Beyond the Looking Glass effect. It’s scary but they also used sonic frequency machines to bother people in their subconscious mind, like a modern Rock or Rap concert. Proves effective even today, unfortunately. The Mass Psyche is inspired by giving the middle finger to your folks, it turns out!😵‍💫🪬🫥

    Yes actually partially right what some followers has been said here about Lacan. Yes, It is true Lacan was certainly influenced by Levi-Strauss Who as well took information about Saussure's linguistics from Jakobson. Mirror Stage was pioneered in France from H.Wallon but Lacan enriched It with his knowledge on Hegel. More precisely Hegel as he was understood by Lacan through philosopher Alexandre Kojève seminars Lacan attended as a student during 30s. Many references, many sources are need it to catch him up the whole Lacan. Certainly his essential key is to be very familliarized with all of those references that takes a lot of time to understand It. In fact, Lacan was a multiaspectual reconciling a conjunction of firstly Freudian psychoanalysis, secondly a Hegelian German Idealism through Kojève seminars, thirdly a Husserlian Phenomenology plus Heidegger ontology and hermeneutics and finally a Saussurean linguistics through Jakobson and Prague linguistics Circle. Also and no less important when Lacan was studing medicine and psychiatry he was very influenced by Karl Jaspers' Phenomenological Psychopathology. On the other hand, it is totally wrong consider as professor in this class on TH-cam video shows that Lacan was a posmodernist. He really wasn't according to history but ironically he has been distorted by contemporary ideologists of posmodernism and feminism. He dealt certainly with Structuralism and participated of important portions of this philosophical and linguistics movement.

    I am not sure what Melanie Klein's case example at 29:00 has to do with Lacanian psyhoanalysis at all. It is surprising as one would assume at least Deleuze would know that free association has nothing to with all this. I would recommend reading Bruce Fink's A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis: Theory and Technique to understand that process better before very poorly attempting to critique it and failing dramatically in even an amateur Lacanian's view (myself).

    When schizophrenia become naturalized as a way of thinking we'll all be better off. To stop demonizing people for any reason will be a great leap forward. I'm speaking as one who in my youth did have what was called mania and then schizophrenia (both in conjunction with attemps to leave a backward husband with other, more interesting men) and was treated in the typical drconian way with concrete cell isolation, forced drugging (a very long needle in the ass) and "life long" prescriptiohns for psycotropic drugs, which of course I routinely weaned myself from. It's been very difficult. I am now 70, free of psychiatry all together but see that the system still pumps out billions of dollars of drugs into the human family along with draconian managers who people must visit or suffer to come to their doors every day with their "meds." It's very cruel. It is NOT mental health care. It is mental health destruction.

    Lacan learned Saussure from Levi-Strauss instead of reading " A Course on General Linguistics". He used the idea of Henri Wallon on " mirror test" and turned it to Mirror Stage without citing Wallon as the original source. Lacan might be an influential thinker of the 20th century, but this instance of academic dishonesty and deliberate distortion of some ideas should not be forgotten.
