“Einstein is the problem.” Eric Weinstein didn’t mince words on Triggernometry.

@mattyglesias lots of people talk about this. several books have etc about it

@proud_penelope just taught a class on bollas for the local psychoanalytic society. i enjoyed the opportunity to learn about him - especially his thoughts about the relational turn lol

“I don’t know what the hell they meant.”

@BasedMikeLee it’s a desire, dummy. desires aren’t crimes.

No, it’s a crime This is delusional

a nice belated bday gift

@proud_penelope great book

🧵Cannot recommend this book enough. We seem to return to the topics of early environment vs genetic determinism, personality pathology, diagnosis, etc in perpetuity. Fonagy, Target et al, in the meantime, have illuminated so much around these topics, not only through their

The '80s called they want you to google 'connectionism'

@peligrietzer hahahaha beautiful.

the average recruit wouldn’t fit into the chainmail

@1903hammerless @KeenanPeachy uh huh.

If we had a king, there wouldn’t be any protests Has this occurred to you

ah, the therapeutic frame

@KemtrupTweets nothing to do with the substance of what you’re writing here. but i am ethically compelled to chime in to say “fuck heidegger.” ok carry on

It’s interesting how that expression is active, not a noun phrase but a verb. (Also reminiscent of Heidegger.) Children have a sense of going on being, that when the environment provides for them, allows them to express impulses, drives, instinct. To play. That’s all “true self”

Yes. People often misunderstand Winnicott on the self. In his defense, what he is trying to say is hard to put into words. Let me try: Whether there is a self in the sense philosophers like Parfit or some Buddhists deny, there is an experience of “going on being.” 1/6

@megynkelly i hope the money you make is worth all of this

We don’t trust you. We don’t trust the work of your president’s DOJ. We don’t trust the work of your president’s FBI. You indicted our presidential candidate 4x with made-up BS charges trying to put him in jail for life. You changed laws so he could be civilly sued by a woman who didn’t even remember what year her alleged “rape” by him was. You let an AG who ran for office promising to “get Trump” try to bankrupt him on a claim so specious even the NY appellate court scoffed at it & had to reverse the damage award. One of yours killed Charlie and then you laughed at our pain, protested our vigils & said Charlie was to blame and in hell. You lied about the killer’s motives & said he was MAGA when you knew he wasn’t. You put us all in danger by not admitting the truth and then not relenting on the lies you tell about us. You cried endless tears for Jimmy Kimmel but none for Charlie. You gleefully cancelled all of us for five+ years and danced when we suffered. You censored us & ruined careers of distinguished doctors & others who dared to say the truth during Covid and George Floyd. You cost our children years of learning during lockdowns and endangered them with deadly myocarditis by burying the risk disclosures and never apologized or owned it. Your govt tried to strong arm Fox into firing Tucker bc of his J6 coverage and you said not a peep about the first amendment. You changed Title IX with the stroke of a pen, without consent, and endangered and hurt our defenseless daughters. You sterilized and cut off the healthy body parts of children & want to keep doing it. You lied about a near-vegetative president being fine with the nuclear codes. You (personally) had Doug Emhoff on as the scandal of his alleged woman abuse and cheating broke and you didn’t ask him ONE Q about it, then tried to tell us you care about women. You opened the border and let in ten+ million illegals who killed Laken Riley and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray after they sexually assaulted her and threw her off a bridge, along with the countless other innocents they rape, murder and molest to this day. So no, we don’t care what you say about Tom Homan. We do not trust you. We only care about defeating you.

At our 58th anniversary dinner.

@psyainquiry @MarkLRuffalo this probably ought to be qualified - i mean some relationists say you shouldn't do any metaphysics [e.g. ontology] at all.

@MarkLRuffalo He seems to have this backwards: It’s self/relational schools that have welcomed phenomenology/ontology and the role of experience in development. Whereas the Kleinians emphasize implausible levels of cognition/phantasy (I.e.) epistemology as constitutive—of infant subjectivity.
