I'm Cautious About A Lot

I'm Not Critical Of The People Who Do Psychotherapy. The Therapists In The Trenches Have To Face An Awful Lot Of The Social, Political, And Economic Failures Of Capitalism. They Have To Take Care Of All The Rejects And Failures. They Are Sincere And Work Hard With Very Little Credit, And The Hmos And The Pharmaceutical Companies And Insurance Companies Are Trying To Wipe Them Out. So Certainly I Am Not Attacking Them. I Am Attacking The Theories Of Psychotherapy.

Of Course, A Culture As Manically And Massively Materialistic As Ours Creates Materialistic Behavior In Its People, Especially In Those People Who've Been Subjected To Nothing But The Destruction Of Imagination That This Culture Calls Education, The Destruction Of Autonomy It Calls Work, And The Destruction Of Activity It Calls Entertainment.

Sooner Or Later Something Seems To Call Us Onto A Particular Path... This Is What I Must Do, This Is What I've Got To Have. This Is Who I Am.

Any Symptom Can Force You To Go Deeper Into Some Area.

We Vote For Perot. We Think He's A Great, Marvelous, Honest Man. We Send Money To His Campaign, Even Though He Is One Of The Richest Capitalists In Our Culture. Imagine, Sending Money To Perot! It's Unbelievable, Yet It's Part Of That Worship Of Individuality.
