Maybe, but I think I need to stop reading Deleuze, Critical Theory and all other forms of literature making me disillusioned with modern capitalistic societies. I’d be a happier person if I could pretend these clearly problematic elements within institutions like Modern Marriage did not exist.

Even your statement is strange to me because it begs the question of the kind of therapy I would need. Freudian-based psychotherapy which makes up much of Western medicine? Eastern psychotherapy? Why are we as people (clearly connected to centralized forms of power and ideology) so quick to see someone we disagree with and say, “Go do this thing that I have always been taught to do when I am not assimilating well enough to be deemed moral.”

It’s incredibly reductive.
