Goals

A relevant analysis by a panel of interested theoreticians from the fields of philosophy, sociology, cultural and political science, psychoanalysis, and aesthetics in an attempt to:

·        Clarify the present-day actions and behavior of the globalized individual as a part of the mechanics of power.

·        Follow the psychopathological resonance of globalized capital in private practice and life.

·        Research whether the present system of ideology produces crises and ideological “black holes,” and whether fascism is developing into new dimensions as a totalitarian system, when in fact the main economic system is global and total. Ways and means for making aggression legitimate.

·        Define what a “good” citizen means today and how that individual functions as a supposed citizen of the world. Tolerance, political correctness, and cultivated aggression.

·        Figure out if today’s “good” citizen of the world is considered the American citizen and why.

·         Define aggressive patriotism, or globally applied patriotism.

·        See how and why today’s ideological system produces personal crises and emotional and moral breakdowns, and seek ways for remedying that.

·        Personal economy, virtualizing personal space, and the destructive consequences on the psyche due to the body’s escape into virtual space.

·        Accident – something bad suddenly happens (personal); an incident, death…is it just a bad coincidence; bad luck; karma, or do we intentionally/involuntarily avoid or dismiss the fact that maybe:

1. The accident is a result of people’s passivity, and that can be considered “passive aggression?”
2. The accident as a result of suppressed aggression (which, according to traditional – Freudian – psychoanalysis, is pure depression!) To what extent is suppressing aggressive instinct part of the required incorporation into contemporary society, and what are the psychological consequences for the individual. Is there a relevant substitute today for the ritual channeling of aggression primitive societies had (sacrificial offerings) in order to vent out aggression instead of suppress it…? When somebody “looses it,” the result is only and always chronicled as an “accident.” 
3. The accident as a result of auto-aggression, in other words, as a death drive (Freud)

·        Sexual relations, limitations, and taboos, the aggression and auto-aggression that accompanies them as a potential possibility drawn from such limitations and taboos.

·        What could be assumed a consequence or damage caused by new screen communication via the Internet and new technology where physical contact is practically zero. Aggressive Autism.

·        Must we consider ourselves actual participants in the political world today and how?

·        The meaning and meaninglessness of passive/active perception of the present as a unified social/political system – a no-win situation?

·        How and why must contemporary value systems be rationalized and can that affect theoretical concepts concerning the social/political system outside of perfecting it as a device for control, power, and exploitation?

·        What is anarchy?

·        Can violence be used against authority?

·        Anarchy of the mind – causes, reasons, results, epilog 

·        Conclusions

·        The need for conclusions.
