They have to do with the idea you have of yourself and what you expect from the world. They are like a mask that you put on the world. They make the world take a little longer to deliver to you. What a word. Give me time, and … circumstances, to rewrite it. The most interesting thing about this mechanism is that it requires a neighbor.
You lend the world your ears to adjust the mask.
I don’t have very firm beliefs about the projections. I write here to see what they tell me. Something disconcerting This is because in psychoanalytic usage, the verb is ultimately intransitive. “Project” therefore does not require anything. But then, what are the stones that he who is free from sin throws? These stones are direct objects.
The idea we have of ourselves as an upside down mirror. The fury of Caliban who looks at himself and recognizes himself in the mirror, as he appears in the The Prologue to Dorian Gray is a notorious example of projection, which occurs again immediately afterwards, when Caliban does not recognize himself in the mirror. Juliet Capulet projects herself into a flower.
The projection needs another one to show us the clothes we can wear. Another person explaining our closet to us. The projection is See in others what we have difficulty recognizing in ourselves. We think of the projections as spider webs that cling to our bodies as we move through this casual foliage.
What doesn’t seem so easy is to have a pure personality, and you build it for or against things.
It seems that from a very young age, we begin to project without being able to avoid it. What doesn’t seem so easy is to have a pure personality, and you build it for or against things. But hey: that means that we are not so isolated and that anyone who says that he owes nothing to anyone has learned nothing.
To imagine what is expected of you is to project. To fall into this great trap is to project. Pushing yourself too hard is a form of projection and lying down is also a form of projection. Our society can be seen as a vast network of projections that have proven to be useful.
There are those who analyze novels as if they were projections of their authors. And won’t they be projections of their readers? That we only perceive what is already within us is a very old idea that is updated from time to time. So what is this feeling that the world is ending? As I say the following sentences, I pick up the book closest to my hand, which is Simon Armitage’s anthology of poems “Paper Plane,” and I swear the first verse I laid eyes on says: “The future was a beautiful place, once” (“The future was beautiful in its time,” translates Jordi Doce for Impedimenta). The high frequency of synchronicities is one of the symptoms of epochal change.
Who and why says the end of the world is coming to an end? How many times before, in how many different scenarios, on the edge of how many previous precipices has this been said? And yet, how new this feeling seems to us now, that of saying goodbye to everything we knew. This seems so new to us that we don’t know how to behave. This is the only new thing that remains in sight. Losing the code is scary.
There are those who give in to melancholyThere are those who get angry or remain paralyzed, there are those who regret the way they have lived until now, there are those who blame others. Of course, there are those who welcome the final collapse, because they are tired of this tone or because they suspect that, if everything changed, they too might start again. But not knowing how to react to a situation of an unknown nature is the history of humanity and constitutes the most established circumstance.
And regarding the end of the world as we knew it: could the disparate projections of all those who participated in it have something to do with it? When you start thinking in psychological terms, everyone becomes a double agent. A world of paranoiaof crossed beams of light and contradictory indications. It is because of fatigue that we give up and with the stones thrown away the new walls will be built.
Artificial intelligence
And regarding the next one, what I need to be shown what I don’t recognize in myself: his choice is not voluntary (in the sense that it is similar to family. Friends are sometimes said to be chosen family, although it is never said that family members are an imposed friendship). It’s not a conscious choice either. and this is done on a limited sample. It’s named after a royal operation, it’s even shaped like a beam like trailing coats, but it’s a modest system of deception. A new “battle” has emerged to tackle human projections.
It is artificial intelligence, in an extreme and unprecedented game of abyss, because it has no characteristics of its own which could seem dazzling, odious or enviable to us. How is this possible that we project our limits and our powers?
But a screening is also a film, which is why we will now use a film book, which will be “Time to live, time to live again”, Antonio Drove’s conversations with Douglas Sirk which Athenaica published some time ago, and of course the chance to open a page provides us with a new example. The German-American director says: “Look, a lot of people in life, and in my films too, have lost something, for example in “His Great Wish”, with Barbara Stanwyck, “She wasted her life trying to be someone different from what she is.”
