- Final part in this series - a bonus video on 'primal' repression. Tracing the idea from early psychology, through Freudian psychoanalysis, and how Lacan develops it in theory and in practice.

You're one of my favourite readers of Lacan. I feel like the clarity you bring to it almost makes up for years of reading zizek 😂
I’m just getting into modern/post modern philosophy. Why do you think zizek misses the mark?
finaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally. Just so you know, I worship this channel. We want more videos, man. You upload videos so rarely. I know quality work takes time. But we want more
Check out Derek Hook's channel (he does name check Lacanonline/Owen during one lecture). This should tide you over for a while!
Yes indeed. Derek's channel is excellent: th-cam.com/channels/zdZyq2SC9BtMn3fLTknIMQ.html
Grateful for these videos! Going to grab some of his books and see if I actually understand any of it! Haha
I've seen your other videos and this was honestly awful in comparison. You talk about explaining why a split between conscious, preconscious and unconscious might exist or has to exist to begin with and then go on and on without explaining it and move on to other things.
After a certain point, you can't be asked to keep watching while the idea is developed further and this vital piece is missing
Your videos on psychoanalysis are very good ones, contrasting with many others in internet that provoke confusion. Congratulations! Why don't you approach each of the seminars by Lacan? They are so rich. Thank you!
Your presentation is amazing. I've been trying to wrap my head around Lacan's structure of psychosis/foreclosure of the Name-Of-The-Father and it would be really awesome if you could make a video on that.
Hey I’m a little late to the party, and this isn’t exactly the topic you were interested in, but lately I’ve been getting into Leon Brenner’s lectures on Freud and Lacan. His video on Freud’s paradigms of psychosis is absolutely phenomenal:

Quite literally feels like this is the moment psychoanalysis begins to look like analysis to me.
The analytical boundaries of the mind space ARE primal repression / conscious energy seductive charge flow (?) in the same way a general derivative describes the holes or ends of its sides
Thus conclusively proving that wanting a lamia to unbirth me live on national television is positively 🌈 natural 🐍
I just need to close my eyes and imagine praying mantis happy
Artistic expression as the creation of new energy is an extremely keen interpretation. Novelty, or "creating something out of nothing", is dopaminergic. I don't think it is wrong to reference neurochemistry here. Nostalgia is dopaminergic too funnily enough but this can be sublimated as interpretation for epiphany, how to get back to what was good. All for the sake of enjoyment, not the object of our desire itself.
I just want to know why his cigars were always so crooked? Or were many of the photos and films taken of Lacan from a single session in which his cigar had become deformed? It's puzzling.
Could it be that the quantities of intelligence and perhaps the entire consciousness are linked to the individually different potential to interpret these signifiers on a large scale without directly colliding with the remainders? So with something like the form of the arrangement of the “Final signifiers“ (close to the remainders), the encounters with other people's desires and the resulting distraction/deflection from the remainders - is this the necessary Space for the mind?
awesome video
an advert every 2 minutes. i can't take it any more!

Ay this just pooped up in my feed, just what I didn't know I was looking for :D
Amazing content!
It's kind of funny how you accidentally spelled "perpetual indices" as "perpetual inCiDes" when describing exchange zones -- "incides" could parapraxically refer to "in-cuts" or insides. Zones of pain and high sensitivity, inflicted onto us by the more powerful.
Slip of the tongue… ha ha
Good job, great job 👏 👍
Is drive the Trieb in German ?
Yes
Good morning. I'm very Interested in lacon works and was wondering what books aren't in the Ecripts?
Another brilliant video. Thank you for making these!
I have a question... I think I have a grip on lacans graph somewhat, but do you have any clue why he termed it's upper left arrow 'jouissance'? It's got the same spelling and structure as 'pouissnce' but it's less common. The will to power is something contestable with castration and the issue of bad faith that we have when we try to act off of the cogito. 📴
Preconscious, unconscious and conscious is a very strange theory to me and I don´t know how it persists.
For instance the theory when discussed usually conveniently excludes states like deep sleep, dream, drowsiness, sedation, inebriation, coma, hypnosis, meditation and tauper and focusses solely on the waking state, assuming in the process that there is something like a pure waking state, which is the same in all humans. But even without that exclusion and assumption...
Training and focus can make virtually any unconscious aspect of the mind conscious. Just focussing on breathing transforms it from uncontrolable, unconscious to conscious and almost completely controlable (unless you want to stop breathing altogether).
Mystics have been show to be able to control/influence unconscious functions like heartrate or immune response. We can stop seeing optical illusions with training. It is therefore all preconscious?
On the other hand.. a deliberate lack of focus (meditation) or intense focus on the nonsensical or nonconsequential (prayer/mantra/mindfulness) can make most conscious processes unconscious and for instance stop internal dialogue and imaging, or make one forget one´s name or gender.. it is therefore all preconscious?
The theory seems to want to draw borders on turbulent water. I have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, that might have something to do with it: One theory is that I might have unusual pathways due to a lack of synaptic pruning. But that might just mean I see clearer into this matter. At the least mine is still a functioning brain. That means the theory is either plain wrong or at least skewed or biased. It might just be less perceivable for neurotypicals, I wouldn´t know.
To me: it feels like questionable, but sometimes useful shorthand at best, nothing like an accurate theory.
Like saying PI is about 3 or choosing to alway use Newton´s equations rather than Einstein´s and just ignore anything that doesn´t fit as an acceptable margin of error. Or a placebo being raised to the status of cure.. It may work sometimes, even most of the time, but it says very little about the nature of things, yet that seems to be the intention and even the consensus.
Excellent videos and excellent website. Finally, a good explanation and not a mere simplification of Lacan's theory. Thanks!
Can't believe this exists, truly the GOAT.
Thanks for your excellent work! Very clear and fluid
Amazingly done, brother
So drives are like the will?
Absolutely brilliant.
Need more videos!
Great content!
This video needs more advertisements, 12 wasn't enough
It is clear to me that what Lacan needed was the French version of "Gramerly..."
