freudian weekend

 we visited Freud museum with dr on a day off. it was his last home and his daughter Anna continued living there until her death. i’m still confused about Freud. probably cos i didn’t really read him or about him, very much anyway. so fair enough. overall i found the museum visit enlightening and enjoyable. 

it has always seemed to me that Freud had some pro-equality thinking but also some very patronising, backwards views on women. the visit solidified this confusion. for instance he opened some doors for women in the professional field of psychoanalysis, but also said stuff like “Women oppose change, receive passively, and add nothing of their own”. my guess is he somewhat changed with the times so that could explain some of it.

Freuds study.

i started listening to this Economist podcast Scam Inc, which is for subscribers. in the middle of the episode there’s an ad, basically for the Economist itself but also referring this particular podcast “that you are listening”, meaning it was intentionally placed there. i’m slightly confused as to why they’re promoting a media and podcast that i’ve already bought into. but whatever, i’ll just continue with the podcast now. it’s about the current trend of mega level scams, cryptocurrencies etc. 

i met Aleks & Raissa for dinner at Ivy Asia. nice restaurant.
