The Only Cure by Mark Solms review – has modern neuroscience proved Freud right? An expert in both disciplines makes a bold attempt to convince sceptics, and partially succeeds

Excellent review by Ray Tallis, of a book by Mark Solms, in defence of Freud and the essence of psychoanalysis. Imao this is a model book review: fair, nuanced, and Tallis doesn’t just read the book, he checks the references.

On this episode of BBC radio 4's "Child" I spoke about the risks of emotional colonialism and the in-your-face approach to emotional recognition www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

That's me in the corner...

This one started for me with an almost childish question: Can we take it for granted that people in the past experienced reality the same way we do? It turns out a whole field of study and an important scholar were asking the same...down into this fascinating rabbit hole I went.

The Tylenol thing is just another way to put women and children at risk and to underrate pain. These guys are essentially "let the weak go to the wall" pseudo social Darwinists. It was stupid when Wallace did it and it is evil now.

since it's 25C in Berlin and I have covid, I'm kind of celebrating not getting a place via the marathon lottery

looking up Andrea Železna, javelin thrower, to see if she is related to Jan Železny and finding that yes, she is, but not in the way I'd expected

Thanks. Feels very familiar

Recently had to convert a piece into APA style and thought that seemed pretty hideous for a historian. But now I'm converting a piece into an esoteric Austrian style and it is wild. Wild, I say.
