TGL 012 Addendum | More on Jouissance, Death Drive, & Negativity (Lack)

This episode of The Gorman Limit is being released very shortly after episode 011. The reason for this is that I thought about the topics I've been riffing on during episodes 010 and 011, and there was more I wanted to say about jouissance, the death drive, & netagivity or lack.

TGL 010 It's All about Jouissance

In this episode of TGL, Neil starts to talk about the concept of Jouissance (i.e., enjoyment). The claim Neil makes is that understanding the way jouissance functions in our lives is essential to understanding why people do the things they do, in particular when those things don't make a lot of sense.

TGL-004 The thing about respect...

TGL-S1-004

Intro 0:00 - 3:20
- Today's podcast is about the concept of respect.
- Why people desire it, how they try to get it.
- How they fail to get it.
- And how they might get better at getting it.

Context 3:20 - 13:50
- People coming to you v. People being sent to you

"I don't care if you like me, but you're going to respect me!" 32:40
- The first part (before the coma) is a negation.
- The second part (after the coma) is an impossible demand.
- Have compassion for people who say this sort of thing, eh?

A story 13:50 - 47:40
- The story takes place in a high school.
- A kid who neither likes nor respects me kind of turns into a kid who likes and respects me.

TGL-003 If you want control you tend to get less of it

Warm-up:
I talk about waking up early, liking winter, drinking tea…

Content:
What I want to do in this episode is tell you a story.

- A story from early in my career.
- One of the most important lessons I learned
- It’s a lesson about control… or perhaps it's not…
- It might be more accurate to say that it’s a lesson about a LACK of control.
