Writers of Romance, you’re not just telling frivolous stories…
Romance was a turning point in the process of individuation, in part because it is so uniquely suited to explorations of interiority, psychology and our place within society.
So carry on, smuts. ❤️🔥🙌🫶🏻

“Traits” are central units of biological analysis—but how should they be individuated, and relative to which ontogenetic frame of reference? In my new paper, I argue that answering this isn’t easy—and matters more than it seems. 📃👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #HPBio #evosky #evodevo

Cool, jobs for philosophers to work out the criteria for individuation for regulations.
James Cleverly says he would bring in a "one in, two out" rule for new Government regulations, raising the possibility of regulating his way to having no regulations at all.

One of understanding day vs. night charts: the diurnal sect is aligned with the Apollonian (reason, harmony, individuation, ideals) and the nocturnal sect is aligned with the Dionysian (chaos, ecstasy, de-individuation, mystery)

One simple point Jung makes clear is that individuation is not to be confused with individualism. It is not about the growth of the ego. 'Individuation does not shut out one from the world, but gathers the world to itself’(CW 8).~Nathan Field, Jung's Quest for Individuation

Vivian reveals her father, Elon Musk, used sex selection for a male child in advance of her birth.
Malignant narcissists like Musk view their children as self-parts—reflections of them—rather than as separate, unique human beings and often react to a child’s individuation as a narcissistic injury.

My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold.

Synthesis. The Sequels are all about taking what you know, challenging it, and forging something new from the inbetween, or the contradiction. It's about loving the flawed beast of Star Wars; its about Jungian individuation; and that hardest of syntheses, learning from your own mistakes.

that individuation precedes differenciation in principle, that every differenciation presupposes a prior intense field of individuation.

🎬 Is Paul Thomas Anderson the ultimate cinematic psychoanalyst? Every PTA film is a journey through Jungian individuation. Characters like Daniel Plainview or Reynolds Woodcock are doomed to self-destruct until their inflated Ego confronts and integrates their Shadow. #PaulThomasAnderson #FilmSky

Happy Mother’s Day!
Remember: an ideal mother only has to be—in the words of the great psychoanalyst Winnicott—“good enough.” A mother’s role is to create a nurturing holding environment for a child in which they can safely develop and individuate, and *perfect* attunement inhibits individuation.
