I wish I could find a way to offer a continuing seminar on the many different things that interest me.

Understanding Freud can help us become more aware of the instinctual forces which underlie so much apparently rational political behavior: Trump's behavior with Angela Merkel might well be as much the product of his deep-seated unconscious misogyny as of his supposedly well-thought out foreign policy. <br /><br />And it's not just Trump. Many times my own political hostilities stem from repressed or by now semi-conscious childhood trauma. s. wallersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448905469871566228noreply@blogger.com
