Re: Will Self: The Internt is a False Friend
You mean this sort of thing, Andy?
Zook is clearly someone who is very very repressed.
The slightest bit of conflict or confrontation that moves him out of a controlled environment and gets his blood pumping will bring all those emotions to the fore.
Is Zook really a misyoginist? I doubt it. Perhaps immasculated by a matriarch or indoctrinated by a patriarchal text. Does this really reflect him deep deep down inside? Or is this his ego? Why strip people of their humanity?
Spontaneous hypnoanalysis is good for uncovering aspects of the self but when you shove someone else into that mix for the purposes of aiding a heated conversation then you are usually dealing with people's egos. A better environment for encouraging people to be themselves is a relaxed one free from rules.
