Dostoevsky and Parricide II

Sigmund Freud explores the psychological aspects of gambling, suggesting that some individuals gamble not for monetary gain but for the excitement, and that this tendency may be rooted in a need for self-punishment.

 Now that was funny ??

@LVTruck

 You sound like a scholar. Liked reading your comments. Thanks for sharing.

@magiccarpetride

 Obviously you haven’t been around a lot of scholars….

Better to go with the Jungian view of compulsive gambling, lol. Basically a spiritual thirst for a sense of wholeness. GL tonite 

To me, gambling is more akin to Albert Camus’s essay “The Myth of Sisyphus” however grasping those concepts requires some earlier reading of Roland Barthes and Structuralists, Marxists, and Post-Modern theorists like Louis Althusser, Fredric Jameson, Claude Lévi-Strausse, and philosophers, specifically Rousseau, Heidegger, Michel Foucault, Perniola Derrida, etc. ??

@LVTruck

 That was funny.  This is what we need around here, a lot more humor.

You made me laugh. Thank you!

You guys are awesome.  Thoroughly enjoyed reading your philosophical statements.  Somewhitechick, and the rest of you, if we ever meet, I would treat you all to your favorite meals while we discuss philosophy and sports.  

Thank you all for checking in, and I hope others here at "covers" pitch in with their philosophical views about what we are all doing here. 

So close LV. Brutal.
