Thanatos: The Death Wish
Copyright 2020, InterAmerica, Inc.
The Trump-advocates are courting death in exactly the way
Freud elucidates in his masterful explication of human instincts (drives).
In my previous posting about Freud’s thinking on the death
instinct, the death drive – Thanatos – delineated in his brilliant Beyond
the Pleasure Principle, I applied the drive toward death as a metaphor for
the drive to insignificance by UFOers who keep raising the specter of Roswell
in UFO discussions.
But the awareness by academics of the Freudian insight
actually applies more to the Trump-inspired folks protesting the sensible “stay
at home” dictum of persons who want to deny death its eminence over life,
something Trumpsters are too dumb to see.
Find more about Beyond the Pleasure Principle and see how
wrong Anti-Freudians are about the great man and his theories.

UFOs? Or signs and omens?

My mother was a gypsy. (I’ve mentioned this before.)
So I grew up “appreciating” signs and omens, and have a slew
of books and materials on both.
In context with my current view(s) that the gods are messing
with humans again, they (the gods) have also provided portents telling humans
that the gods are active once more.
DrDee has been intrigued by a video of a “falling something”
that he says is, by definition, a UFO or UAP [Unidentified Aerial Phe- nomenon],
the current term by some UFOers encouraged by the U.S. military’s use of the
term, to remove it from an extraterrestrial patina I think:
A counter view/opinion, I added here a few days ago, of what
those falling images are, from a Facebook posting by Rich Hoffman goes to a
mundane explanation for the things being seen all over the place lately:
But I’m guessing [sic] that these meteoric-like things
falling to earth are omens of (more) bad god-actions to come.

Bryan Sentes sent me a word (link)...
...that better defines what I was trying to impart in my Hold Ignorance posting:
