The greatest and easiest mistake we psychologists make is when we assert we're sociologists as well. Although, sociologists do too.

The Body-cell Problem

All relations can be organized as a body-cell relation. Example: You are an organism in the biosphere of the planet Earth, so you are a cell of the planet Earth. This is substantive because the extraordinary energy required for a cell to overcome the body's influence, such as escaping the planetary atmosphere or simply surviving in the biosphere, requires coordinated effort and problem solving by cell(s) which are otherwise barely distinguishable from the greater mass of a body.

The 'problem' aspect is that of the nature of 'tyranny'. A body will always treat its cells as expendable. Just as a flake of invisibly tiny skin cells melt away on a daily basis without.

Organs are the mediating distinction between these. A cell can efficiently effect a body as part of an organ. Such that we appreciate when we bleed, stomach wants for food, and lungs plead for air. The challenge of course is to we cells, understanding the organ is difficult and the body virtually impossible. For a cell can only understand depthfully any singular aspect of a greater structure (organ, body, etc) with aid from other cells armed with their own depthful specialized knowledge.

Project;ion

To be 'for' there cannot be an end, no victory without projection becoming implosion. As force goes and never nulls until meeting resistance. Is the asshole not the kindest of men?—and the nicest not the ugliest?

Better the truth than the lie that will be detected.

For one thing is needful: that a human being should attain satisfaction with himself, whether it be by means of this or that poetry or art; only then is a human being at all tolerable to behold. Whoever is dissatisfied with himself is continually ready for revenge, and we others will be his victims, if only by having to endure his ugly sight.

To imagine any joy regarding a perfect dictator enters the ear and so utterly in contradiction with anything of a life worth living... well, you'll have to excuse me. But what the Breaking News so constantly shoves down our throats has suddenly become a peaceful meadow. If you consciously have decided to sleep through life, we have invented many fine substances to help you along. As I have researched. (raises glass)

Every allowance for heaviness must be backed by a knowing; We dig now for Michelangelo's feathers and clean from them the marble, so that we may fly fromwards. Man looks to the dirt habitually, gravity needs no help there.

Luthen & Kleya: Father & Daughter of the Revolution

Revenge is the path of self-hatred, an all-hatred uniquely productive in that singlest and narrowest sense. Luthen did not succumb to this, he did not lament himself as some helpless 'sinner', self-flagellating in some cheap self-satisfying performance as if that would wash away what Imperial crimes he found himself participant. It was he who found that little girl, who became a companion to Kleya and not merely a leering father figure. They both survived a genocide, each as agents caught on the opposite side. And so Luthen's debt was not to some lofty ideal, nor was it to that too frequent self-hatred. It was directly to her. A very real, rightly vengeful daughter of an exterminated people.

Luthen knows the Empire by having been within it as enforcer and subject; there is nothing special about it to him but it being a system he feared may one day become too entrenched and normalized to undo. Not for centuries, anyways. A horrible kind of New Empire over the remains of an Old Republic. It was Kleya who carried the fire of an erased people, and Luthen who intimately knew every working of the fascists who directed him to perform that erasure. Every regret of his was a performance or credit of his put towards that soulless system's disillusion, and Kleya the final word of the dead: the monstrous war machine which killed my family will not consume this whole galaxy.

She was the revolution, He was the instrument who made it possible no less than the Empire used people. Difference being, he knew what he was sacrificing himself for—the Empire already ripped his soul out the day he'd erased her people.

[Nietzsche] wasn't just saying I don't like this and I don't like that. Which incidentally is an expression of consumerist behaviour. [ The] very kind of behaviour that Peterson himself finds worth critiquing.

...even we seekers after knowledge today, we godless anti-metaphysicians still take our fire, too, from the flame lit by a faith that is thousands of years old, that Christian faith which was also the faith of Plato, that God is the truth, that truth is divine.—But what if this should become more and more incredible, if nothing should prove to be divine any more unless it were error, blindness, the lie—if God himself should prove to be our most enduring lie?
