political correctness in america has gotten rid of the Other. The "Other" is what we are not. It is a negation, a projection, and a denial. There is no attempt at suture between the Other and Oneself. The Other, then, is abjection, pain, and isolation.
i find it almost impossible to find the films of Ingmar Bergman anymore or any films that express deep pain. To give pain and to express pain is to be evil. It expresses the Other in way a way that is uncomfortable for the One. But pain is a part of growth. Unexpressed pain expresses itself as internal monologue, nightmares, and masochism.
THERE ARE GLARING CONTRADICTIONS in p.c. that cut like glass.
1. Everyone learns in a different way. Again, this is a truism. Of course, everyone learns in a different way. But can the teacher learn to teach in all these different ways? Yes, the teacher can have some flexibilities, but she is limited. Also, even if everyone learns in different ways, one must know a method of teaching that is universally applicable. Logic is universally applicable since it can be utilized to analyze all other human functions.
2. Everyone is beautiful. Everyone is unique is what is meant here. Yes everyone is unique which really means that no one is unique. If one analyzes how people are unique, then we find a sameness to uniqueness. So what does this really mean. It really means nothing.
I'm not going to go into all the p.c. statements, but to say that they all mean that what we consider to be opposites are actually one and the same. This is what I call the "One" and the absence of the Other in p.c.
So the p.c. does not need the Other. P.C. reaction to the Other is to simply stare at them (stoning) and reject the Other altogether as Not REAL, as a drema (drama, dream) of the personal will of the Other.
Theories of the Other as Dream, as a symbolic and value reality, are growing like cities in France and other places. Hollywood is a dream-machination. How do dreams work? What is the inner construct of dreams?
