Consciousness (kinda) Humanity likes to put a face on things. We enjoy logos, patterns, and color schemes. We feel comforted by associations that remain constant. Familiarity makes for a comfortable existence. Anything mankind can’t visualize puts itself in a category of fear and discomfort. One could even argue that the electron microscope exists solely to aestheticize what ails mankind-- influenza, cancer, and the common cold now all have mugshots. CAT scans give an aesthetic to medicine and…

In “Lord of the Flies”, people are able to read Lord of the Flies as an allegory of the human psychology. In such a reading, each of the characters personifies a different aspect of the human psyche: the id, the superego, and the ego. According to Freud, the id (located in the unconscious mind) works always to gratify its own impulses. These impulses, often sexual, seek to provide pleasure without regard to the cost. Jack's impulse to hunt and kill reaches its peak with the killing of the sow…

SAFTB has truly become bigger than Barstool Sports. For Freud, I think the most interesting aspect of this movement would be the gendered language, and the motivation behind that specific language.
