thanks to the description I'm now able to say I'm more in line with the obsessional neurotic ok it's not a surprise I just never thought about what it would look like and that's definitely how I've approached this

Todd, I really like this take on the state of emergency.

Dude! You gottah mention the Breaking Bad episode with the fly in the basement lab!

Jon Repetti - Lacan's Seminar 11

In this episode, Ryan and Todd discuss the political implications of the coronavirus pandemic. They lay out the differences between a natural disaster and an emergency that has a clear enemy. They explore the implications that the response to virus has for the concept of biopower and the idea that we have been reduced to bare life today. 



From listener and clinician Conor McCormack:
Structures are key to Lacanian practice and the parameters of differential diagnoses and can currently be nicely discerned in reactions to Coronavirus.
 
Melancholia: It doesn't matter, I'm already dead
 
Schizophrenia: I hadn't noticed 
 
Paranoia: I knew this was going to happen
 
Obsessional Neurosis: We'll all be ok if we follow the rules
 
Hysteria: Who's in charge here anyway?
