Everything is a thing. In this edition of ‘Kill the Archetype!’, I cut to the chase and explain why archetypes have to die—and why this is paying them more respect than most.

Boomers were in charge of basically everything throughout the entire 9/11 and GWOT era and my take is that the key to understanding what happened is how Boomers used 9/11 as cope for trying to heal their trauma from living through the US defeat in Vietnam.

Well this was pretty cool. Found my book at the Waterstones near UCL. Someone who noticed even asked if I was the author and bought a copy! Sometimes one gets so focused on the next thing it’s easy to overlook milestones. This was one I forced myself to appreciate. Link for Jung & Spinoza in bio.

As I see it, the psyche is a world in which the ego is contained. Maybe there are fishes who believe that they contain the sea. We must rid ourselves of this habitual illusion of ours if we wish to consider metaphysical assertions from the standpoint of psychology. —Jung, CW. 13, par. 75.

I am haunted by this passage pretty much every time I talk to customers at my day job
From Section 3.10 of 'Anti-Oedipus': Writing has never been capitalism's thing. Capitalism is profoundly illiterate. The death of writing is like the death of God or the death of the father. The thing was settled a long time ago, although the news of the event is slow to reach us, and there survives in us the memory of extinct signs with which we still write.

A friend sent this. From a bookstore in London. 1) It's nice to be a shelf above Jorps. 2) I guess they'll put any drivel for sale these days. 3) The only bookstore I can think of that had a Jungian section this big was in Boulder, which is hippie world.
A Jungian section in a bookstore somewhere in London. Various texts are here, including 'Jung and Spinoza: Passage through the Blessed Self', now available through Routledge. Also Hillman (cool) and Jorps (fuck).
