the exploitation of desire, this is the big invention of capitalist discourse.

...capitalist discourse implies a particularization of desire, treated as if it is a demand. Whereas in classic discourse desire is singular in that it cannot be solved by means of the signifier, the capitalist discourse suggests that particular solutions for dealing with subjective division actually exist: the market is there to satisfy customers' demands. Consequently, at the point of desire, the capitalistic logic leads to exploitation: “the exploitation of desire, this is the big invention of capitalist discourse” (Lacan, 1973a, p. 97, my translation). This discourse exploits desire by treating it as a specific question to be answered by means of practical solutions. The superego command characteristic of capitalist times concerns an obligation to satisfy desire via consumption (McGowan, 2004). The market provides streams of products and services that are there to answer peoples' demands. Lacan suggests that this has a tranquilizing effect: “we couldn't do anything better so that people comport themselves with a little tranquility” (Lacan, 1973a, p. 97, my translation).

Deutschland ist krank und sie mit ihren psychischen Problemen müssen entfernt werden oder so verbogen werden das sie dem staat was gutes tun. Sie sind eine last für Deutschland.

I am literally begging all of you, if you are suffering from anxiety, intense pms, mood or anything similar regardless of gender, PLEASE CONSIDER ELIMINATING DAIRY FROM YOUR DIET FOR AT LEAST ONE MONTH.

I recently started an elimination diet to try and address the extreme chronic fatigue and brain fog (and hair loss)I have been dealing with for quite some time. I saw two different doctors and got tested twice every test of mine came back perfectly fine. My doc said they could find nothing wrong. As a last resort i asked her about the possibility of a food intolerance and what her thoughts were about trying an elimination diet.

Her eyes lit up. She told me of a patient who she was treating who was dealing with extreme PMS and its subsequent symptoms to the point of her scheduling a hysterectomy. Somehow she came across the idea of an elimination diet as well and gave it a shot. Doc said after a few days the patient started to feel better, and after a month she was perfectly fine. No need to remove her uterus.

I have been roughly 3 weeks without dairy. I don’t feel anxious anymore. My body doesn’t feel anxious. It has made such a significant difference.

don’t get me wrong, it can be challenging but I do think everyone should give it a shot just to see if it does anything. There’s no risk involved and at the end of it, if it doesn’t make a difference, at the very least you’ll appreciate the next slice of pizza or scoop of ice cream a little bit more. :)

Please, I want to share this with as many as I can, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Beneath every behavior there is a feeling.

And beneath each feeling is a need.

And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior,

we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom.

One of Lacan’s most oft-repeated formulas is: ‘man’s desire is the desire of the Other’. (Seminar 11). This can be understood in many complementary ways, of which the following are the most important.

One of Lacan’s most oft-repeated formulas is: ‘man’s desire is the desire of the Other’. (Seminar 11). This can be understood in many complementary ways, of which the following are the most important.

1. Desire is essentially ‘desire of the Other’s desire’, which means both desire to be the object of another’s desire, and desire for recognition by another. Lacan takes this idea from Hegel, via Kojève, who states:

Desire is human only if the one desires, not the body, but the Desire of the other...that is to say, if he wants to be ‘desired’ or ‘loved’, or, rather, ‘recognised’ in his human value.... In other words, all human, anthropogenetic Desire...is, finally, a function of the desire for ‘recognition’.

Kojève, 1947:6)

Kojève goes on to argue (still following Hegel) that in order to achieve the desired recognition, the subject must risk his own life in a struggle for pure prestige. That desire is essentially desire to be the object of another’s desire is clearly illustrated in the first ‘time’ of the Oedipus complex, when the subject desires to be the phallus for the mother.

Foundation Help

Yesterday was very nice weather, and I was able to do some exterior housework. First up, one of my fence posts seemed a bit wobbly. I was expecting to dig around it and maybe pour some cement to hold it steady. But when I dug nearby, I saw that the post (FYI - pressure treated 4x4 installed less than 10 years ago) was completely rotten through and came apart in my hands...

Okay, that's not so bad. I am able to replace a post, but why was it rotting? Hm... looks like our downspout isn't draining to a great spot. Again no worries, I can deal with drainage direction and downspouts. But hold on a second, what else is in the area that might have been damaged by excess water? Oh, just the house foundation! And there are cracks in it (horizontal, which I hear is worse than vertical). Eek!

It seems that the presenting problem was just one symptom which pointed to a much more serious concern. It also became clear that I needed some professional help, for although I can do many home projects I am not going to attempt a foundation fix solo.

This is the case with other home repairs. If your lights are constantly burning out, it might be a sign of incorrect voltage or an issue with your circuit breaker (it could also be other, more minor issues). A dark spot on your roof could mean that there is a leak (or it could be something minor). Either major, expensive and invasive repairs or minor, easy fixes.

As with homes, so with our emotional and physical selves. If someone is sleeping badly, that might be a symptom of needing a new mattress, or it could be a symptom of overburden or mental stress. Lack on concentration in school or at work may be caused by excitement for an upcoming vacation, or could be a sign of emotional suffering.

The physical/emotional list could go on and on, including: unusual fatigue, bed-wetting, nail biting, decreased appetite, aches and pains, rapid heart rate, lethargy, hyperactivity... essentially pick any change in physical characteristics and it can have a benign cause or one more dangerous or difficult.

This is one reason that it is always wise to get a medical and/or therapeutic professional to evaluate. Ex: If someone looses control of their bladder. Is that a sign of cancer, urinary tract infection, nervousness, trauma response...? A physician and therapist can help assess whether the cause is mental, physical or something else.

Listen to your body and to your emotions! Where might you need to reach out and get a professional to help? It may be that what you were trying to change is only a symptom of a much more serious concern. It's okay to mention things to your physician and/or therapist, even if you are pretty sure there is no concern. It's best for anything to find the potential larger concern as soon as possible.

Now I need some help... any recommendations for foundation work in the area?
