Thinking as a partner

Helps when in service.

To benefit from one’s calling [2] / 51.

It’s the unconscious that decides, the only one to be responsible for it: that conscience applies to decide – and dutifully – but unsuccessfully.

Unless conscience recognized satisfaction, and not the sublimation of that: conscience to help because at the service of what was unconscious.

[1] “It is an observational fact that psychopathology re-forms in a subsequent System thanks to a cultural passage that justifies… We understand better why Freud said that psychoanalysis does not directly deal with the symptom, and with psychopathology in general, and discourages the patient from insisting on his or her pathology (it is the psychoanalytical rule).” Cited  from THINK!, by Giacomo B. Contri – Wednesday 14 May, 2014.

The clumsy patch of sublimation.

When the capability to synthesize begins to look for an understudy, the work of analysis becomes cadaverous: and it is the istinct -  to which sublimation offers a clumsy patch - the common grave of its residues. Thinking never takes a ‘leap’, or worse, a ‘somersault’.

'The' issue therefore remains an oxymoron: that vocational training is called upon to deal with and, possibly, to get the upper hand.

Mother Nature and the istinct.

Mother Nature does not favour humans, denying them the dictate of istinct which – seemingly – makes it easier for the animals. As thinking lacks, istinct executes: but cannot sanction reality.

It is to the human law of thinking – and not without reasons the law begins only with birth[3]  - that one’s judgement - of which even naivety and paranoia are cases - can be attributed to reality.

Amphimixis proved to be a benefit.

In the ‘70s Galtrucco was one of the first to welcome the novelty of prêt-à-porter, alongside the traditional textiles to be made in tailoring.

“…the origin of the reproduction  would be explained… with a soberly Darwinian reasoning… that the advantage produced by ‘amphimixis’ was then maintained and used in the subsequent evolution…”[2] 

“Freud has indeed singled out for sure the biological advantage of amphimixis, which is ‘maintained and used in the subsequent evolution’ - and we could say according to economics because it produces a surplus which increases the reality, thus taking into account one’s principle of pleasure…”[3]

It took about a hundred years to attribute to the term ‘advantage', and ‘benefit’ too’ as it was finally identified by Freud, the exclusively economic character it has in reality: that is, the result of a judgement that requires investment and work.
