Dearest Waccabbies,

Pertininent to many of the recent and past discussions, Troll response at the end included.

Particularly apropos to the "What is a lie?" thread.

Aside to Willie: Marx said, "I am not a Marxist." I suggest you reread the relevant paragraph of my previous response on that thread. You might realize that your reply was even more absurd than what you seemed to have thought I was saying.

P.S. I have no idea who or what "Pinky" is!

Pinky Show Interview: Fear, Aggression, and Empire

by Stephen Soldz / November 29th, 2007
I was recently interviewed (https://www.pinkyshow.org/archives/episodes/071126/)on the Pinky Show (https://www.pinkyshow.org/) about the contributions of psychoanalysis to understanding our American culture and empire in the age of the War on Terror.
The interview can be “watched” on YouTube (https://youtube.com/watch?v=jO2EZQrrsYE):
Those preferring can read the transcript (reproduced with permission of the Pinky Show (https://www.pinkyshow.org/)):

Note: The following is a verbatim transcript of the program’s spoken dialogue.
[ phone ringing ]
Stephen Soldz: Hi.
Pinky: Hi, is this Dr. Stephen Soldz?
Soldz: Yes it is.
Pinky: Hi, this is Pinky… from the desert.
Soldz: Hi, how you doing?
Pinky: Um, fine thank you. Dr. Soldz, may I ask you some questions about psychoanalysis and fear and… empire building and stuff?
Soldz: Sure.
Pinky: Okay… Um, maybe first can you please tell me about psychoanalysis — like, what’s it for? And what is the objective of therapy?
Soldz: Well, psychoanalysis is based on the assumption that in addition to the things we’re aware of that there’s a lot of mental life that we’re unaware of, you know, the concept of ‘unconscious’.
