This is not about anything critical theory. It's been a year since we started this whole thing, and we wanted to take a minute to talk about that journey and some good moments. It's been wild. Thank you all for helping us get here.

So. Freud. I know you're as excited as we were, which is fine because we dove deep into his texts, the meanings, and a lot more when it comes to the man who 'found' Oedipus. In this section D&G outline their reasons for involving psychoanalysis and the geneology of how they got here.

In Chapter 1.4, the critiques of those who came before is out in full force. First, they come out swinging at Freud (shocker I know) but then Klein takes a few hits and then Lacan. Et Tu, Guattari?The big points here? How repression takes hold and the actual palce that Neurosis, Psychosis and more actually come from. Hint - it's not from you.

Before we dive into Chapters 3 & 4, we wanted to cover anything left over. And there is a lot. This was basically run like a huge Ask-us-Anything, and we did our best to take on all the questions we got. No questions was stupid. It was wonderful.
