Finished Desmet’s The Psychology of Totalitarianism.

Great setup, disappointing aftertaste: reason torn down, intuition enthroned.
The therapist can’t stop therapising the world.

New on Philosophics: The Film or the Strip — Freud knew the 'normal ego' was a fiction; Strawson simply refused to pretend otherwise. Some live the film, others the strip. The projector hums either way.

New essay: The Will to Be Ruled — Totalitarianism and the Fantasy of Freedom

https://philosophics.blog/2025/10/24/the-will-to-be-ruled-totalitarianism-and-the-fantasy-of-freedom/

When the “self-governed subject” falters, obedience rushes in as comfort.
The essay follows the gradient from freedom to devotion—where submission feels virtuous, even ecstatic.
