Video

What you say at the beginning of the video is not totally accurate. In Joyce le symptôme, Lacan recognised the efficacy of the subject, which, far from being just an effect of language, is also the origin of a constitutive saying of non-duality. According to Lacan, Joyce has shown us that conditionality can be broken and that unity is the symphthome.

Extremely useful, thanks you!

For me, the mantis example doesn’t work for illustrating the “expectant anxiety.” The experience/knowledge that some males have their heads bitten off after sex by the female presupposes a collective memory passed on to and stored in other males’ brains. This is too much of an assumption, because this experience cannot be passed on to the living males as the messenges themselves are dead. On the other hand, despite wearing a visually indistinguishable male or female mask (what about communication via pheromones?) allows mantises to recognize (and accept) the other as an opposite-sex partner. The poorly understood post-sex decapitation event can thus be only a wired-in reflex (maybe instinct) of the female (now it’s my pure speculation) to prevent the male from spreading his genes among other females or to eliminate the chance of a re-encounter (for whatever reasons). Anxiety is thus a higher-order cognitive experience and an expression of either communicated (learned/memorized) traumatic event or hardwired and retractable (DNA?) information.

Bye-bye...enough for today!...

this is the best video i ever seen! happy birthday to me! it makes sooooo much sense

What's with the macabre true crime-type anecdotes to illustrate aggressivity in constituted rivalry, was that necessary?

i am not going to pretend i now understand the graph, but this was a great overview that i will return to.

This is important information

Thank you for coming back!!

Oh hell yeah !! It’s been too long a wait since your last video! thank you so much. How can we support new videos?

speculations given by O'Donoghue of Freud's dream cut short by Freud and the fraudulent activity of family member(s) has more of a punch.

Thank you

I am having trouble understanding the process order of Graph two with the examples you gave.. why does the punctuation or quilting point come before the A or Big Other?

xXx

Yes, what on earth else could be anxiety provoking about a pack of wolves staring at you from outside your open bedroom window.

Incredible. Your videos changed my life. Thank you

What a gem of an analysis and presentation. Thank you!

This has been so helpful for me!

Good job, great job 👏 👍

ANOTHER BRIT BULLS--T MEDICAL VIDEO,,,,,,,,FOR THE BRAIN DEAD !!!!

Grateful for these videos! Going to grab some of his books and see if I actually understand any of it! Haha

I call it my mind map but now we term the nodal points! 8:09 If you can create a personal mind map of triggers both dormant and active, you can research what topics can help you to unlock your mind and thoughts…possibly 😅✌️❤️

Very good man, thanks for the hard work!

So enlightening.

too quiet

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?

Helpful vid = succinct, clarifying. But why is the background music so distractingly high in the mix? Frustrating at times. Good stuff nevertheless.

is it the hole of the cup or of the handle of the cup?

Wth!! Am i the only one stupid here.. HELP GUYZ i have a presentation tomorrow 😭

Very interesting how it differs from kierkagarrd and even sinilar

Montaigne had a words about this.《 Who dreads, suffers》 This is a bit dense. Overly complicated

Interesting, but troublingly one dimensional. I’m sure if you asked someone living in a war zone why they’re anxious, their response and the analysis of it would reveal their anxiety has little to do with uncertainty regarding how they are perceived by their opponents, for instance; in fact that may be their most certain certainty. There is an obvious display of a particular class consciousness in this theory…

Just watched your 3-year-old 1:31m video, great inteoduction, but I want to dove deeper

Hello, I am a psychology student from Turkey and I am trying to study Lacan's texts. My question is this: According to Lacan, the place where desire begins is when the child whose sexuality is chaotic is castrated. I know that his unsatisfied desire has begun and he is trying to fill it with objects of desire. This event itself is a tramua, my question is: Does every trauma cause the beginning of some kind of desire? Do traumas experienced in adulthood create some kind of underlying desire, or is it only experienced in childhood?

This is so good thank you!

Read your paper on topology in lacan half a year before, surprised to see a video😂

Owen, thanks for referencing my topology videos. Your interest in set theory complements mine in projective geometry, but following Joan Copjec I cite Desargues as Lacan's topology main theory source, as does Lacan in Seminar XIII and elsewhere. This is not rubber-sheet topology, which lends itself well to set- and graph-theory, and your viewers might want to think about self-intersection and non-orientation as the key qualities of Lacan's topologies. In other parts of this otherwise helpful web site, you cite Euler's treatment of the Königsburg Bridge Problem as the origin of Lacan's topology, but Lacan nowhere mentions this; and the Bridge problem is the basis of graph theory, not topology. I do admire your explanation of the torus and its relation to the Möbius cut. Your readers will have a lot to think about here! But, in general I would caution about blurring the distinction between "immersed" (3-d) forms, which we can visualize, and the actual 2-d topological counterparts. You can't actually see a 2-d torus (there's no where to stand outside and look at it). I always have to warn my audience that I am still learning about topology; I'm not a mathematician (more of a maths dummy) so I have to use ethnological/cultural examples, where topology takes on the forms of the uncanny to be effective. I advise viewers to go back to the sources (Seminars IX, XIII, and XIV) to realize that Lacan was a profoundly "visualizer" and that to understand him properly we have to learn how to think this way, not in terms of "pictures" but in terms of the impossible-Real spaces first theorized by Pappus, Desargues, and Pascal, later by Gauss, Plücker, Riemann, Klein, Möbius, etc. So much work to do! Thank you for your efforts and beautiful graphics and narration; you have high production values as they say in show-biz.

Sometimes you put text on the screen and talk and it’s hard to read and listen at the same time. I think it’s better to read the quote/text verbatim
