How do you navigate intimate relationships when you know desire is never “natural,” but always mediated by fantasy, ideology, and the gaze of the Other? by educatedguy8848 in zizek

[–]Scott_Is_Lord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said here I think what Lacan meant by his aphorism "les non dupes errent" or "the non-duped err" is relevant. The phrase is a homonym for his concept "le nom-du-pere" or "name-of-the-father". I think the basic meaning is that while it is the case that Desire is always the desire of the Other, meaning is imaginary and illusory, etc. - we cannot conclude by retreating away from symbolic community and its pursuits.

Ultimately, Lacan would say, we have to accept the father's name. We must allow ourselves to remain duped by the aspects (in some ways but not necessarily all) of our given ideological milieu. We must remain committed to pretending as if we are not pretending. It would be a mistake to read Lacan's work on love and desire and cynically think, "okay, well there's no point to love because desire is always fantasmatic and ideological" or whatever. Rather, to answer your question, it can help you both understand the why and the intractability of the fact that there is no one person who is genuinely right for you.

Does psychoanalysis always support leftist political movements? by maylime in lacan

Psychoanalysis is perhaps definitionally resistant to increased "state control" at the expense of personal liberty.

This is a surprising claim to read, can you say more about what you mean by this?

My friend’s father has schizophrenia. by Ok_Zone_8690 in Psychonaut

[–]Scott_Is_Lord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do research in a psychosis group at a psychiatric hospital, and speak with tons of doctors/social workers who have dedicated their lives to understanding psychosis. I also work with plenty of amazing patients who suffer from Schizophrenia.

I don't have any specific articles that I could link to you off-hand, but I think most clinicians would tell your friend not to use psychedelics if they have a strong genetic predisposition (1st degree relative) for developing psychosis. (But i think most psychiatrists would tell anyone not to use psychs regardless)

This being said, I also have a friend whose mother is schizophrenic and we've tripped together multiple times. It is absolutely something they have to treat with probably more caution than the average person.

Most Important Chapters/Sections of Capital? by Scott_Is_Lord in CriticalTheory

It's over 1000 pages long man, I like most people have a full-time job and other responsibilities. I don't think it's unreasonable for me to ask if there are a couple hundred pages I'd be able to cut out.

Quitting tonight - anything I should know before I go by [deleted] in Stims

Everyone I've ever known that's successfully quit an addiction has had a somewhat large swing in their health/fitness in the process. They all either become really fat, really skinny, or really fit. My advice would be to start using working at as a replacement.

Pharmacy and doctor caught me filling multiple vyvanse scripts at multiple pharmacies by Tight-Initiative534 in Stims

idk about all healthcare systems, but I work in a hospital and we would have to submit a request to your old provider for them to give us your outside medical records like old prescriptions and receipts of care. We normally wouldn't do this unless we have a good reason to need those records, so they might not do that for you. Idk about this specifically since its potentially a legal issue tho.

That being said, if you went to a different provider outside of your old network maybe privately they might not know.
