>>resolving the problem of war requires insight,
complex thought, and subtle tactics.
Anyone smell sulfur or glimpse Mephistopheles as
loping poodle? Aside from the hubristic notion of
neurotic mastery in "resolving the problem of
war," what other snake oil patent medicines does
the doctor offer?
Maybe--taking a cue from Patanjali's Yoga
Sutras--this psychoanalytic Hermes Trismegistus
can offer the gift of invisibility or flight?
Delusions of mastery and ever-present profit
motive aside, what does the doctor offer except
the apotheosis of a therapeutic state, where the
unexamined icon of national power is exchanged for
the unexamined icon of the father-mentor-rationalist?
Puh..lease.
