I can't remember. Are also doing page 86 this weekend too?

They're flashbacks that tell a side story that better explains Olivia and Gabby's relationship.

I remember reading 'Civilization and its Discontents' in college, and it has some great passages like talking about how technology combined with humanity's impulses will result in more and more destructive wars... and then it had a two page footnote/detour about how the first technology humanity figured out was fire, and how it was phallic, and we learned to control our impulses by dousing it with water, which he considered yonic. At that point I was like 'cocaine is a helluva drug' XD

Quick Question: Are those Interlude sections part of the Story or are they there own Story?

Agreed. The vast majority of Freud has been proven crackpot theories at best, or him projecting his own very-unique circumstances onto the majority of humanity. But a few specific aspects DO hold up in modern psychology, even if he's been debunked overall, and if I remember correctly his understanding of impulses in and of themselves (not their guiding motivation) is one such. I'm very much looking forward to where Cameron goes with this.

So THAT'S where the title comes from. Interesting!

Glad everything is done and getting back to normal. I was wondering when the title drop would occur. Kept us waiting for a long time.

Kadath

Yeah this is the 'let's explain the title and motivations here' chapter XD

Kadath

Thanks! Gonna post the next page this weekend, too!

Kadath

Holy-! They’re not finally going all the way are they? I mean they just said the thing so they probably are!

I know there are sexytimes going on, but Cam's spitting some interesting knowledge. This page does a good job of getting me interested in where he's going with how this theory applies to Olivia, whether or not he's right, and whether his intentions are purely clinical, or something more than that.
