to Sergio ZabalzaThe behavior of the five Argentines robbed in Miami is not an isolated case, but “represents the main features of the current subjectivity, where anything can be done.” The psychiatrist noted that in these episodes “impunity” operates, mixed with “boredom, boredom where everything is the same” and where the only thing that seems to matter is “immediate satisfaction.” He even compares these collective behaviors to “crazy, crazy games,” like Russian roulette, that seek adrenaline and carry no moral value. “We are tired of everything social media sells,” he said. Fontificia modeon Net TV and Perfil Radio (AM 1190).

Why is it so serious that 13-year-olds, for example, are allowed to invest in the financial market? How does online betting affect this young boy’s psychology?
Authoritarians don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is an essential pillar of democracy. This is why it bothers those who believe they are the bearers of the truth.
It’s terrifying because at that age what’s possible guide The emergence of sexuality is work, it is effort, it is saving The horizon of desire. The drive, the sex drive is never lost. At most he sympathizes. If he is not given work to do, then that motive becomes contrary to the point. Then violence, then repression, then the symptoms that teenagers today show in puberty and teenage girls, appear in offices. They say it clearly: “AndOr, I’m 25, I want to solve my financial problem“In what way? And with Cryptocurrencies. Then he comes disappointment. And you know, Jorge, that day Suicide is the leading cause of death among pre-teens and teens.
Pay, encourage the teenager to invest in the financial market, that is wins Money without study, without work, Without the effort it requires, it empties money of its symbolic content. What is important is not the size: what is important is the meaning one gives to one’s own efforts. then, Making easy money makes the entire value equation empty. It no longer matters what I put in, my sincerity no longer matters. Simply strong luck that things go the way someone told me and fills me with money. Then that’s it. This is basically the horror that is happening now.
Five Argentines arrested for stealing merchandise in Miami will be deported
You must have seen the case of five Argentines who were in Miami, and who everything seemed to indicate were robbed as if in a game, for an offence. People who were merchants, that is, there was clearly no need behind the theft. At the same time, they seem to have done it together, in a kind of flock, in a kind of game. I don’t know if it can be considered a degraded or irregular form of satisfaction with motivation, which is related to what you said: when this motivation is not well directed, it turns against the person himself. But I don’t know if it caught your attention to see these five upper-middle-class Argentines, who could pay their ticket to Miami, who had several businesses here where they lived and steal little things, a total of $2,000, as if it were a game.
I wasn’t surprised. This represents the main features of current subjectivism, where anything can be done. If I had to somehow describe these types of events, with one word, it would be the word Impunity. I mean you can do anything. This incident did not go unpunished because they were arrested, but I point out what happens in the psychology of the person who commits such nonsense: it is impunity. Anything goes. The word “game” What you used seems right to me.
There are crazy and crazy games. There is Russian roulette, which is also a game where you risk your life, and this produces adrenaline. And this adrenaline is poison when achieved in this way, and it makes me feel alive because what is happening in this present subjectivity is a kind of boredom, where everything is the same, where It seems that the only thing that matters is instant satisfaction. Here this generational leap is manifested in terms of this game that empties all moral value, which has equations that regulate the value of things, and which generates desire, work, effort, etc., They lose meaning.
A friend told me, in the course of a statistical review of cases of mental or psychological disorders, that when one analyzes over the years, for example those that are mostly hereditary, such as schizophrenia, they remain more or less in the same proportion of the total population. But in recent years there has been a huge jump in anxiety-related disorders. Various forms of anxiety-related disorders. One of its manifestations is an increase in suicide cases in adolescents, but in adults there are other forms of anxiety disorders. Can we say that there is a subjectivity to time in which what prevails is urgency, immediacy, and the inability to wait in a state of instinctive satisfaction? The horizon of desire is 5 minutes away.
Yes okay. My impression, which I usually use, is that we are absolutely sick. This means, Anxiety is the daughter of the illusion of being able to have it all. This is impossible, because the rational being must choose. You have to choose: whether it’s a partner, a job, or a way to make a living. and When you choose, you have nothing to lose. Good, What current neoliberalism or anarcho-capitalism is selling The rest is that you can have it all.
New study: One in three in Buenos Aires shows symptoms of anxiety and depression
The rise of the far right, with its extreme proposals, may not have resulted in a response as rapid as this concern requires. Everything is fast. My question is whether the issue is that the factor that the far right has to be a cure for that anxiety, as well as its entirety, is speed. The request responds: “I will give it to you quickly.”
Yes okay. This dizziness and this word call to mind the topic of artificial intelligence And to social networks. We are tired of everything social networks sell. So the immediate satisfaction is to call via cell phone and thus get the supposed satisfaction. Of course it’s temporary, from pornography to sending a hate message. Hate is more effective than love. For this reason, it is much easier to destroy than to build.
That is, hatred gives me instant satisfaction. I go, lie, undress someone on screen etc., get instant satisfaction, which could be my downfall later, but that’s another matter. If instant gratification is a question, hatred is eminently effective. For this reason, it is very difficult today to work against this push that the far right uses, using the most primitive people, and hatred is the direct response to the self.
that.
