- OldGuyInTheClub 3y agoThanks, very much for this pointer. I used to listen to these on Youtube but the channel got deleted. I am glad to know that the episodes are still available.
- zabzonk 3y agoTo be utterly nitpicking it is "Time", not "Times". I only point this out because it is probably my favourite series ever.
- psadri 3y agoThanks for the correction.
- subpixel 3y agoGreat recommendation, one pithy comment in the podcast is the observation that unlike Freud, who was ultimately interested in deciphering the unconscious, the Surrealist approach is akin to _reciphering_ it. The goal is not to smooth things out but to encounter the 'marvelous', aka actual reality. In HN terms, those weird things aren't a bug, they're a feature. https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/courses/1112F/BLST/BLST-243-1112F/definition/glossary/marvelous https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/courses/111...
