“Country images are not like public opinion, which can fluctuate literally from day to day. People are reluctant to change their minds about other countries, partly because they don’t think about them very often or very deeply, and partly because countries’ images are deeply ingrained in the culture of the population that holds them. Chinese views of Japan, for example, are really part of the Chinese culture, and vice versa.”
How is Mexico more progressive on civil rights than California and New York???
what an amazing loon:
“J.W.: I’ve seen you quoted as saying that you’d rather die than see an analyst. Can you elaborate?
W.H.: I think it’s a mistake of the 20th century. You could not live in a house that was illuminated to every last single corner. And human beings become uninhabitable when they are scrutinized and illuminated into their last little dark abysses. Just leave people as they are and don’t touch it. I think psychoanalysis is one of the great mistakes of the 20th century. It’s one of the reasons why I would dismiss the 20th century as a mistake. I think the 20th century in its entirety was a mistake. Psychoanalysis is just a small brick in my argument, that I could build up.”
Kitty Wigs!
