Sublimation Is a Term That Freud Borrowed From Chemistry

Freud: Ritual cannibalism is somehow less barbaric than just chaotically attacking and tearing apart an enemy and eating his flesh without any rules or restrictions at all, like a zambi would do. A society that can satisfy its oral aggressive drive by eating a loaf of bread in the shape of a dragon on saint george's day is a different kind of society than one that has to still satisfy it by eating the liver of its enemies. And we all do it. Zombis are completely unsublimated human beings. They're human beings without symbolic consciousness. When you strip that away, all that's left is their appetite.
