In the movie it seemed like an afterthought, a nihilistic externalization of what was essentially a psychological urge to self-destruction. But I think there is an intrinsic connection between symptoms in the self and symptoms in the world. Without anything worthwhile to commit yourself to in work, you wind up focusing on your pay and what you can buy with it. The System wants you to contribute to the bottom line both as producer and consumer, so they're going to want to keep the symptoms subjective: you're angry, depressed, alienated. They want you restored to the full, upright and locked position as part of the system. The requisite insight, however, is that the machine itself is enraging, depressing, alienating. Then comes the crucial question: do you adapt yourself to a pathogenic environment; do you try to intervene constructively with some aspect of it; do you blow it up; do you opt out of it?<BR/><BR/>Have you seen any of The Wire? It too addresses these issues. Part of the issue is whether there is a Big Other behind the System that keeps it moving, or does it rely entirely on everyone's complicity. I'm prone to believe there's a bit of both, with the Big Other being the people who stand to gain the most from the System's perpetuation.john doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484728969355294193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9242710.post-57278335651428589852008-08-30T12:22:00.000-04:002008-08-30T12:22:00.000-04:00Perhaps my attempt to hide....I don't consider mys...Perhaps my attempt to hide....I don't consider myself extremely depressive....perhaps melancholic is a better word; but for some reason I go through phases of blogging: for a few days I will blog like crazy, then I will take several days where I won't even go online. It repulses me! Such swings tend to reflect my personality shading: when I feel slightly depressed or melancholic, then I tend to avoid the blogs (and internet), as a general rule....a general rule that certainly gets broken.Jonathan Erdmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234688186113838474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9242710.post-82076442004270890272008-08-29T17:10:00.000-04:002008-08-29T17:10:00.000-04:00No, not sarcastic.

Or maybe it's because I've been sort of low-intensity depressed for a couple of years now, one aspect being that I assume I'm occupying a different and less pleasant (un)emotional space than everyone else. <BR/><BR/>This sort of depression seems too pallid to merit the label. I suspect Jack wouldn't have considered himself depressed. Numb, anhedonic, anomic, etc. maybe, but not depressed. It's like he could recognize his depression only retrospectively, after some emotion started seeping back into his life.john doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484728969355294193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9242710.post-90396364851490285822008-08-29T10:42:00.000-04:002008-08-29T10:42:00.000-04:00Also, thanks for the link; it is very appreciated....Also, thanks for the link; it is very appreciated.

In effect he says that in Jack the movie is presenting an accurate and personally moving characterization of clinical depression. I understand, Erdman, that you never seem to experience depressive episodes, but I think Emerson is right. What the movie illustrates is how depression doesn't have to come from inside the world; it can come from one's interface with the culture of meaningless work, consumerism, and hopelessness about systemic change.john doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484728969355294193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9242710.post-22918613113903994472008-03-14T08:27:00.000-04:002008-03-14T08:27:00.000-04:00On a related note, come check out my post for toda...On a related note, come check out my post for today.john doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484728969355294193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9242710.post-32517133156640606262006-10-16T08:43:00.000-04:002006-10-16T08:43:00.000-04:00Good thought on Office Space!

He simply doesn't care anymore and through the "big thinking" of the consultants Peter gets promoted simply for not caring. It winds up being his bosses fault for "not challenging him."Jonathan Erdmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234688186113838474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9242710.post-68560744642479157062006-10-14T11:04:00.000-04:002006-10-14T11:04:00.000-04:00That's awesome!
