diagnostics

Most people cannot make anything out of trash.

 

But also I was relating it to what we talked about last night, about how people try to get rid of their psychological excrement.  Of course, this is projected downwardly toward the less fortunate.  It’s trajectory is always away from the powerful and toward those lacking in political power.

 

So we can imagine the shaman as a pathologist, waiting at the end of the conduit to gain a shit specimen from which he can diagnose the society’s ills.  Society’s psychological rubbish is very useful for diagnostic purposes.
