ever notice how the good guys always end up dukin it out with the bad guys there like an old west frontier?
That's no coincidence. When you're locked in intense, competitive, anti-inductive games, you always get pushed to the edge of the map. That's where competition pushes you. To the edge of the known. Into the unknown. Into the formal wilderness.
Science tries to describe without influencing the subject. Experiments, once set up, must work independently from theories, the map must be causally downstream from the territory. This Must becomes an expectation and creates a blind spot. But only the most well-behaved fields really work this way: Sociology and Psychology that deal with social realities struggle with this, especially. For many areas of interest, the map is carved into the territory by its usage, a herbivore trail both formed by and forming the territory. Language, world views, even our memories are such maps, changing whenever they're used.
yeah but you can though while walking around in hallucinations it has created. you can't hold a conversation with it but you can see what it's doing. surely the writing process can contain an element of this as well.the thing about the unconscious is you dont have any real access to it cos its unconscious. it casues effects and it sends messages but you cant really visit. communicate with it bloiquely, but not walk around in it
Right, but is it real in the first place or was it just invented by Freud and the gang?the thing about the unconscious is you dont have any real access to it cos its unconscious. it casues effects and it sends messages but you cant really visit. communicate with it bloiquely, but not walk around in it
if its not real what else would it be? .Right, but is it real in the first place or was it just invented by Freud and the gang?

my feeling is that it is real. well, my feeling is that something is real, something that i can intersect with, that messages pass back and forth between, that can disrupt me and also guide me. what do you think?Right, but is it real in the first place or was it just invented by Freud and the gang?
Something other than the unconscious. Maybe we assume there are these underlying things we aren't aware of simply because the idea's been introduced to is and everything is actually there already.if its not real what else would it be?
Many maps are also territories, and many territories become maps. It's just about levels of remove. The meta-level is always a map of what's below it.Is the unconscious the map or the territory? Should we be distinguishing between the unconscious and The Unconscious?
