"I learned why I have lost so many umbrellas in my life. Why I try to open my office door with my house key. Now, why should my hats and caps have half-lives of less than a year? Where is that mosquito control association cap I got from the World's Leading Authority? Freud pretty much convinced me that what my grandma told me - "Lost objects go to the Moon" - is not true. Venus, maybe."
"Freud's work is foundational for understanding theory. Without reading his work, we can't possibly get all the references of the other theorists who followed. So... as part of my MFA program, we read the entire body of Freud's work.
I had a lot of resistance to Freud... mostly feminist critique. But to be fair, even the feminist theorists are grounded in at least an understanding of Freud (if not Freudian themselves). But about this book...
I guess I took issue with Freud's assumption of perfection in consciousness that was always being undermined by unconscious motivations... i.e. if you misplace your glasses it's not that you've made a mistake ('cause we're perfect?), it's that you don't want to see on some deep UNCS level. Forgetting is never just forgetting, it's always repression. I could honestly be wrong about this, but I'm not sure the brain has perfect memory. Do we really remember everything on some level? We might very well... don't know."
"A much easier read than Civilization and its Discontents. Full of interesting examples of some bizzare associations that might explain why one would forget something."
