I'm greatly interested in Lacan and reading through the entire series of the "Seminars" while watching Jacques Siboni's "Topologos Lutecium" seminars on YouTube and even re-reading the parts of Zizek I had skipped because, you know, psychoanalysis. But it's hard to deny the differences in epistemological status between modern psychiatry (which tries to advise therapy for most conditions, it's too bad that it's so hard to find therapy that passes either Popperian criteria or p-value hypothesis testing) and psychoanalysis. I have a masters in mathematics and have been increasingly attracted to the idea of going through psychoanalytic training instead of a normal PhD in some field like physics or philosophy -- which at one point was also an intellectual obsession. I find it fascinating. But I also have STEM goggles; I can see the world through them and see what's wrong. But it seems to me that there's a "meta knowledge" of how theories can be constructed outside the Popperian box; Zizek saw this.
