Frozen Assets
So the U.S. is planning to give assets belonging to the Afghani people to Americans.
What We Desire
According to the rather incomprehensible French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist Jacques Lacan, what we desire is the desire of the Other.
Explaining what he meant by this quote, Lacan said “The necessary and sufficient reason for the repetitive insistence of these desires in the transference and their permanent remembrance in a signifier that repression has appropriated – that is, in which the repressed returns – is found if one accepts the idea that in these determinations the desire for recognition dominates the desire that is to be recognised, preserving it as such until it is recognized.”
Love and Judgement
Jesus preached love and care for others, but his followers don’t always follow his instructions. It makes one wonder how they expect to get to Heaven.
Modern Communication
Facebook has its many flaws but at least it allows people to easily stay in touch.
Asking for Help
Some people hate to ask for help, while others love to ask for help.
Exceptionally Good
Americans love to think they are exceptional.
The Anxiety of Freedom
The cats love talking about Freedom because it’s such fertile ground for ideas.
JOMO – Part 3
It’s Great to Suck
This comic was inspired by a wonderful article by Karen Rinaldi where she describes her love of surfing, despite not being any good at it.
Even though Rinaldi surfs eight months a year, “I fall and flail. I get hit on the head by my own board. I run out of breath when held down by a four-foot wave.”
