Hyperpsychology~Primer

There is a gap in an ability to empathize, as we are struck through by self-interest in a profound, psychological manner. This gap is not as simple to overcome as to help others, but it is rather a profound gap in experience and identity which creates subjectivites and psyches within their own realms.

Philosophy and critical theory in the 21st century has become a venue by which to improve models of the mind and to address this gap. Zizek’s influence is to say that this void is not something simply overcome, but the master must be accounted for. Structures can be put into place that do not try to blend subjectivities, but rather account for the gulf. Lacan’s symbolic order spills out as a possibility of ground between subjectivities, each working on this third thing in between them. The secret third thing, as the meme goes, is the symbolic order between subjectivities, not one to one with lalangue, the mother tongue or the psyche itself.

Hyperpsychology examines these symbolic structures and their relationship to those who are subject to them, and those who create them, as well as integrating the Freudian concepts of the creation of the primary psyche, the lalangue prior to the symbolic order. This is the essence of why Hyperpsychology was born, and the possibility that it can be utilized beyond his own life and for psychology in general, to account for the alienation that comes from ideology that purports to bridge voids, but in fact gives those in power the ability to sort and to abuse those who they attempt to help. When gaps are admitted to, personal accountability’s true form appears, which is to say rational self-determination not just of individuals and their choices, but of large systems which rationally self-determine symbolics, primarily outside of psyche, organizing structures in accordance to historical and group efforts.

Nations and their ideologies are psyches coming together to form structures which manage themselves and others. Things amassed from group subjectivity, that appear to make decisions, but in fact never find their home in a single psyche, they must be understood through analysis, and related to via reason and choice.
