hearing label people as 'mentally ill' and 'fool' really is disheartening...i don't like this piece of writing........people with problems are often just lonely and ignoring them will add to their problems.not every troubled person is a 'bottomless pit'......the first time burroughs didn't make any sense to me at all with regard to his philosophies.
@posthumanhero he is not saying 'fool' he is saying 'fuck ups' he calls them 'f-us' meaning people who can't get anything right and 'fuck up' everything they attempt. I've known a lot of people who could be described as 'f-us'. And there is a such thing as 'mental illness' it is not just loneliness it is a psychological condition.
@makeshiftbattlefield hmmmm, for a guy that regularly uses improper grammar, and whose books have no story, i find it hard to believe that he would accept such principals as 'getting it right' 'and 'fucking up'.
@posthumanhero what are you even talking about? Grammar has nothing to do with avoiding fuck ups. A fuck up is someone who can't stay out of jail to save their life. A fuck up is somebody who keeps getting cheated on by the same person and keeps going back. A fuck up is somebody who's got a dozen kids with four different women and can't learn to wear a rubber. It has nothing to do with grammar or the proper use of language, dude.
@posthumanhero and that is not my 'opinion' on mental illness. Have you ever read Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV)??? Its what psychologists use to diagnose mental illness. You are citing examples of things that can lead to mental illness, not the illness itself. Without recognizing it you cannot properly treat it you stupid fucker.
@makeshiftbattlefield fuck psychology......fuck it right up the motherfucking ass!.......in a world with wars, porn , education and 'ettiquettes of varying classes i refuse to even care more than the first chapter of 'society and it's discontents'....
@makeshiftbattlefield what does man know about himself when he systematically builds out his instinct and portrays himself as 'logical'?....he's so logical he's making gag porn......and don't call me names u bloated human hardrive.....u want my brain big boy? here i'll cut it out.........now u can have it.
@posthumanhero i misread what you said about the internet, education etc... you weren't giving examples of things that lead to mental illness you were giving examples of things that are completely unrelated to the subject and saying that somehow it invalidates the idea of mental illness. The human brain is a very complex thing and people can develop disorders that harm the quality of their lives and lead to suicide or other harmful behaviors that they'd wish to avoid if treated
@makeshiftbattlefield obviously we will not relate......all reality is subjective.......but we're on two different sides of the planet......for instance, it probably never dawned on u that buroughs' spiel is completely subversive......he gets it wrong every time, he knows it and he knows better than to even try.....lol......oh, i forgot: oops!.......add 'books' to the list of things which are quite sane to you.......i don't wish to continue this because i am condenscending.
@makeshiftbattlefield and , by the way, i don't share your opinion on mental illlness either..........i believe all that is civil, taken for granted, education, the internet, entertainment, porn, 'love' etc, automatically invalidates any definition of 'insanity' or mental illness..........funny, too, that burroughs refers to 'double existence' in reference to the effects of pot -- rather myopic for such an apparently wild man.......or was it just the scissors?
@posthumanhero hahaha okay man. thanks for your brain. I'm sorry for calling you names. Your comment made me laugh. I get where you're coming from, you've had different experiences than I and haven't met the people I've met, so we're not going to have the same perspective.
America has a special species of fools the Teapublicans fools, the highest level, I truly believe as Mr. Burroughs describes this bunch beyond our pedestrian everyday American idiots and fools a special malignant array of fools dangerous for America and the world their greatest goal in life (not to govern) to put in their own as president in 2012…the Lord help us." What's wrong with that? Just about everything. Just about everything.There are no honorable bargains" A fools errand screw them
@persevere4 Don't be misled. Not about left or right or Dem or Rep...Is about the elite..In the words of Professor Peart...those who know what's best for us must rise and save us from ourselves....sarcastic but apt. They're all the same...is all about control...Is all about a new world order and one world government. Their means differ but they both seek the same ends....
@PeterCrisslovechild - "Love Child"? you're aging yourself, they're most venomous they all, but for a very few, worse than scum corrupt from the top of Capitol Hill to the local. Corruption leaning to a police state – time for a “Flower Revolution”, an “Arab Spring” even a “Velvet and Orange Revolution” damn do something. A 14+ Trillion GDP no nation even close not even close to us we can and must do better than this, now intolerable and I have done well, it is not about me - Our Country
Heroin addiction - from which he suffered unfortunately for many years till he woke up in the late 50s/early 60s - is mostly nothing else than the fruitless attempt to suppress + numb an own male homosexual disposition. I have watched it so many times in my life.
Check also the "Dandy Warhols" classic song - "Not if you were the last junkie on earth" where Courtney Taylor sings about junkies: "Maybe you should have found out that you´re gay - but not THIS way (he means heroin).
@natmanprime "It is impossible to read Elizabethan history [i.e., the history surrounding Queen Elizabeth I of England; queen: 1558-1603] except in the context of an army of Jesuits, masters of deceit, treachery, treason, infiltration, subversion, assassination, insurrection, civil war and coercion, plotting for the good of the papacy, and the defeat of all the Pope's foes anywhere in the world." (1987)
@MyFairLaser "In the agreement to rescue Rome [i.e., the Roman Catholic Church's hierarchy] from the predicament of losing its world control to Protestantism, and to preserve the spiritual and temporal supremacy which the popes [had] 'usurped' during the Middle Ages, Rome now 'sold' the [Roman Catholic] Church to the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuits]; in essence the popes surrendered themselves into their hands."
@MyFairLaser "Today they [i.e., the Jesuits] are stronger in the United States than they ever were in any of the countries of Europe which expelled them as a menace to the government." (1912)
@MyFairLaser "Above all I have learned from the Jesuits. And so did Lenin too, as far as I recall. The world has never known anything quite so splendid as the hierarchical structure of the [Roman] Catholic Church. There were quite a few things I simply appropriated from the Jesuits for the use of the [Nazi] Party.
@TheKaos007 Perhaps that is exactly why they give that advice! Who better to tell you to stay away from smoking than a chainsmoker who has lung cancer. Or someone who lost all gambling warning you away from the casino. Or someone who gives out all the time to energy suckers advising you to avoid doing the same?
@whistlerwade: Weirder is even that i found out that when i - as a gay man - wanted to interfere in a heterosexual "boy-girl fight" - the girl sometimes started getting absurdly "interested" in me + almost wanted to ditch him - a proof that many women know hardly something about mens´ psyche + sexuality.....
If many women knew how many of their men have a bisexual male adventure now + then - which they need + even pleases them - they would go crazy of jealousy.
It is tragical that Buroughs WAS a heroin addict+he wanted to kill his own homosexuality with the damn heroin.Heroin isn´t even a"drug"-it is heavy painkiller numbing your WHOLE body+sex.
He should have never married a woman or have had a son,true.
Your"logic"is WRONG in this respect:
Fascist leaders were+are often bigoted drug addicts,hating their hidden gay disposition-but this doesn´t tell anything about not addicted gays.
Hitler was addicted to amphetamine+morphine,also Göring.
this man Burroughs has made a wanker of himself.
