Name: Dialectical Reversal by Why Theory
Duration: 1 h 15 min 29 s
Description: Ryan and Todd explore the working of the dialectical reversal, how weaknesses can turn into strengths, how successes can turn into failures. They look at this through a variety of everyday examples and a few choice filmic ones.

As a Nuggets fan, all the getting close and losing for years was a lot more exciting than winning the championship, which was pretty perfunctory. Boston sports fans are just fatted calves at this point.

As someone who moved to Boston in 2004, right before the Red Sox won the series, I thought all the sports analogies were perfect. For the rest of the episode, and especially during the discussion of love and social media, I waited in vain for someone to quote the eminent dialectician Taylor Swift: “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me.”

I like the change in the definition of dialectics from “the interdependence of things on their opposites” (which can sound dualist- “you can’t have light without the dark..”) to “the interdependence of things on their internal opposition.”

So the Red Sox problem is actually just a large-scale version of the fort-da game

So, the object of desire is lost, whereas the object of drive is the loss itself. Wouldn’t the drive then be the perversion of desire? In that, it takes the deviations from, the circuitous routes to the object, the missing of the object as the object itself
