Repression Reigns!
Stuff & Materialism compensate for Sex & Sensuality.

Bump.

Definitely. Sex has been turned into an advertising gimic and sensuality is stricken to the bedroom where the gov't. still tries to have a say in what happens.

If they could, the government would replace our skin with metal so we couldn't feel anything at all.

Why?

I don't mean that literally.

Still, why?

Frustrated/repressed id desires get channeled into activities acceptable to the societal and authoritarian demands of the superego. Such as extreme capitalism. People with a healthy id and a well developed ego rarely have the same drive to achieve capitalistic success because they are content with less materialistic gain.

Wow! I could not have possibly said it better myself. You just summed up a huge part of capitalist psychology in only one post. You must be a very wise socialist.

i would change extreme capitilism with extreme anything

if you change the influence of the superego than the id desire would be expressed in a differant way. ie - you become an extreme christian, you become an extreme communist...

I had never looked at it like this before, possibly a root of the extreme polorization between sides in most political/social issues?

Freud has been debunked many times, but his theories still reign.

Rock on.

ya, but id, ego and superego are still widely used for their pragmatic description of basic psychological principals

Id - instinctual desires

Ego - Consious thought

Superego - Sociatial or external elements

pretty straightforward

I'm not a socialist. I understand capitalism, but I'm not against it.

A shame. Your talent is being wasted supporting capitalism.

Well, that stuff isn't so specific as things like Oedepius Complex or his stages, so they can still be used. And they work very well.

Nothing can replace the pure and simple pleasures of laughter and orgasms. Especially when they happen at the same time. :D

Tyranny, in order to be successful, depends on lack of knowledge.
Therefore, one could argue free flow of information is the downfall of tyranny.
Information is derived from knowledge, which is derived from experience.
Therefore, by these statements, freedom of experience is the ruin of the despot.
The most instinctually desired experience is sensual in nature.
Therefore, sensual experience is the greatest ruin of opression.
Our modern society has maximized its efforts to inhibit sensual experience.
Can you draw the final conclusion?

This is exactly to the letter what I have concluded. It's as though you read my mind.

And thus began the semantic destruction of ego as a technical term. Common usage blows.
