Who is this guy? Why is he out of breath? Why is this interview being done on a walk,, where the birds are a little bit too loud?
He talks about Freud's concept of repression and then talks about "metaphors". He seems a little bit confused. He could benefit from reading Roman Jakobson to clear up his confusions. Jacques Lacan has written years ago about the relation of condenstation and metaphor to displacement and metonymy!
I have long thought that the Freudian conception of the unconscious mind does not really exist at all. It's no more than a convenient fiction .Lakoff's take on this stuff strikes me as a far more realistic view. Freud made a lot of stuff up, as did Jung.
The whole notion of Jungian archetypes has always seemed to be just a pretty fable.
Metaphor as substrate is so pervasive that our thoughts are often incapable of seeing it or it's actions, being made up of it themselves.
