Hello everybody,

I have this line to save the output of 'translate-shell' to a file

[code] echo -e "\n" | den prancing | tee -a eng-words.md [/code]

where 'den' is an alias

[code] type den den is aliased to `trans $1 en:bg' [/code]

And in the file I get

[code] Definitions of prancing [ English -> български ] [/code]

How to make those asci codes to not appear at all in the output file?

Thank you in advance!

Hello everybody,

I am on the following passage in "The Freud Reader" by Peter Gay

"OBSESSIONAL NEUROSIS

Here the primary experience has been accompanied by pleasure. Whether an active one (in boys) or a passive one (in girls), it was without pain or any admixture of disgust; and this in the case of girls implies a comparatively high age in general (about 8 years). When this experience is remembered later, it gives rise to a release of unpleasure; and, in particular, there first emerges a self-reproach, which is conscious. It seems, indeed, as though the whole psychical complex-memory and self-reproach-is conscious to start with. Later, both of them, without anything fresh supervening, are repressed and in their place an antithetic symptom, some nuance of conscientiousness, is formed in consciousness.

The repression may come about owing to the memory of the pleasure itself releasing unpleasure when it is reproduced in later years; this should be explicable by a theory of sexuality. But things may happen differently as well. In all my cases of obsessional neurosis, at a very early age, years before the experience of pleasure, there had been a purely passive experience; and this can hardly be accidental. If so, we may suppose that it is the later convergence of this passive experience with the experience of pleasure that adds the unpleasure to the pleasurable memory and makes repression possible. So that it would be a necessary clinical pre­condition of obsessional neurosis that the passive experience should happen early enough not to be able to prevent the spontaneous occur­rence of the experience of pleasure. The formula would therefore run:

Unpleasure-Pleasure-Repression.

The determining factor would be the chronological relations of the two experiences to each other and to the date of sexual maturity.

At the stage of the return of the repressed, it turns out that the self­-reproach returns unaltered, but rarely in such a way as to draw attention to itself; for a while, therefore, it emerges as a pure sense of guilt without any content."

A few questions:

• How would a conscious self-reproach at the age of 6-8 look like?

• What is the idea behind this statement: :years before the experience of pleasure, there had been a purely passive experience; and this can hardly be accidental."?

• What is the logic behind this statement: "... we may suppose that it is the later convergence of this passive experience with the experience of pleasure that adds the unpleasure to the pleasurable memory and makes repression possible." given the fact that the passive experience and the feeling of pleasure are already pointed out as characteristics of the exact same past event?

• If the primary experience is accompanied by pleasure why is that not included at the beginning of the so called formula?

• Is it correct to assume that besides repression and turning against the self also plays a part in the process?

I am reading Rovelli's "Reality is not what it seems". He writes: "Our life is a combination of atoms, our thoughts are made up of thin atoms, our dreams are the products of atoms; our hopes and our emotions are written in a language formed by combinations of atoms;"

Are there any papers that prove that thoughts and dreams are made of atoms (either thin or thick)?
