  • Christina Hendricks begins this lecture by giving some background in a few Freudian ideas and arguments that may help in making sense of the text, and then talks about connections between this text, Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, Plato's Republic, and Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols, while giving her reading of some of the main points of Freud's arguments. She ends with a quick question about the choice to start the book with a discussion of the "oceanic feeling" only to seemingly drop it, and then argues that we can see it reappear as a theme, in a way, in the end of the book.

    Good lecture; very thorough and goes through, as far as I remember, all the subjects I took notice in the book. It's night and day in comparison to other summaries, which only touch the book's topics lightly and without an opinionated interpretation.

    Bravo on the lecture! The "oceanic feeling" gone into in depth by William James and referred to by Freud here is something that would be in the realm of what others have called something like "Ego Transcendence".

      He’s basically saying that suffering of the individual is essentially inevitable, because man has to sublimate his natural instincts(drives) in order to function in civilized society. His contention was that man is driven towards dominance and is that his inability to express this aggressiveness results in various neuroses.

    Freud’s favourite joke: a brandy drinker was ordered by his doctor to give it up on the chance that might save his failing hearing. As soon as he did, his hearing improved, but when his doctor hailed him to no effect on the street, months later, he knew he’d gone back on it. In a loud voice, he asked the man why. "Solange ich nicht getrunken hab', hab' ich gehört; aber alles, was ich gehört, war nicht so gut wie der Branntwein" ('When I didn't drink, I heard, but nothing I heard was as good as the brandy').

    Well done (especially the harder, darker, concluding questions about modern civilization tending toward neurosis). On that topic, may I recommend a work by E. Michael Jones: Degenerate Moderns, Modernity as Rationalized Sexual Misbehavior (of Freud, Margaret Meade, Kinsey, Picasso and others). You may also find Jones's lectures here on UA-cam.

    it is interesting at 27:00ish when she says sublimation is not easy for most people. i thought that was the core concept of Freudian theory, that we shove down painful experience and turn it into pleasureful fantasy to remove the authentic pain from it and help process it.
    Maybe i'm thinking of repression.

    Well, fair enough 👏, ending his life that way. Maybe he had disgusted with life and the suffering it brings to an individuals. All what we have known is suffering, suffering with birth and suffering with death and a lots of suffering while we are a life. And still people want to assume that there is life after death and still want to life it. I think they should read the epic of Gilgamesh and how he gave a brilliant answer to whoever wants to leave forever.
