A basic knife skills workshop! That’s the best idea ever.

Whoa. I started going further back and it was pretty frightening. It actually made years contract instead of expand– a surprisingly unpleasant feeling of not being very old, a sense of insubstantiality. Basically, my current life begins around January 2005. The rest is raw, hard to revisit, unanalyzed in the psychoanalytic sense.

“‘Know thyself’ does not mean ‘Observe thyself.’ ‘Observe thyself’ is what the Serpent says. It means: ‘Make yourself master of your actions.’ But you are so already, you are the master of your actions. So that saying means: ‘Misjudge yourself! Destroy yourself!’ which is something evil — and only if one bends down very far indeed does one also hear the good in it, which is: ‘In order to make of yourself what your are.’” — Kafka

I liked this essay. It was genuinely telling the story of some thoughts.

Ah, Pascal. He would have been helpful: “Hey, asshole on the couch. Self-knowledge is impossible!”

Comment on Observations from Psychotherapy on How Using Social Software Influences How We Structure Our Worlds by Jenn B

Hi Amy! I’m a Duquesne alum who’s also interested in online identity/relationships. (It was my dissertation topic in fact – ugh, dissertations)! Anyway, two things: about the friend whose facebook experience seemed to lead, rather than follow his offline experience, you might enjoy Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation – Leswin recommended it to me when I was writing the diss, and I still think about his idea of the hyperreal all the time! Second, I would love to pick your brain about social networking from the therapist’s perspective! Give me an email if you like! I really enjoyed reading your post here – keep it up!
