Episode notes
Subversion of Knowledge
- Lacan's essay aims to subvert the Western tradition's focus on consciousness and knowledge.
- He challenges Descartes' "I think therefore I am," emphasizing discontinuity over unity of self.
Truth in Errors
- Truth, unlike conscious knowledge, resides in the unconscious, revealed through errors and slips.
- These unintentional acts reveal more about a person than their carefully constructed narratives.
Dating App Personas
- Dating app profiles are examples of presenting a curated self, rather than the true self.
- Rehearsed narratives and presentations often don't accurately reflect someone's truth.
