Enid Bloch has no qualifications to determine that Plato, Socrates, and all the other Greek scholars and historical leaders and contributors to our human civilization and our advanced culture were abused, emotionally disturbed, and scarred children and adults! The suggestion is ludicrous and shows what a moron you are to even repeat such utter nonsense! None of these great philosophers, scientists, playwrights, and historians were aware of such child abuse! And no modern scholars (other than your photographer who has no training in psychology or child development) have ever suggested that Greek men were all victims of child abuse! If this photographer had any psychiatric qualifications for qualifying the difference between the sexual mores of a culture and the emotional abuse of adolescents, you would have been splashing them all over your crib! You are simply displaying an incredible ignorance! What else is new. All you have left is your QUACK!! -g-
Who do you think she is psychoanalysing here? Socrates or HERSELF??? And do you really really really want us to believe that her self-serving opinions here are healthy or sound???
LOL! Enid Bloch on Socrates and his (and her) psychiatric problems--LOL!
On Socrates and the Greeks:
“…here was an argumentative, annoying, ugly little man” “As long as I could remember I had yearned for a baby, and now Plato, through the voice of Socrates, intended to rob me of my future child? And beyond that, to censor my every thought and action in a totally controlled society?”
Enid Bloch
“I slowly realized that Socrates had started out life as a badly abused child”
Enid Bloch
And she goes on and on with her psychiatric analysis, in spite that she has no qualifications in either Greek history or psychiatry!
“If as a child he had taken money for his services, even if forced to do so by his father, and then in adulthood had dared to cast a vote in the assembly, knowing he had been turned into a woman, he could lose not only his citizenship but his very life.”
Enid Bloch
Here this moron accidentally makes my point and disproves your feckless attacks! Any acceptance of “payment” for the love and guidance of the erestes would condemn the boy and his family to contempt and persecution for life!! So much for your bribery crap! Do yourself a favour; when you wish to explore any subject in the future...go to experts in the field! -g- Stay clear of “psycho-historians” and introspective sickos using self-help Freudian analysis to understand their emotional disorders!
“I do not think I ever could have recognized what Socrates was doing had I not experienced similar childhood miseries and found similar ways out. Fortunately I was not used for sex as a child, nor was I beaten, but some of the assaults on my emotions and my body were not so very different, and I too fled to a shimmering world of transcendent ideas”…”From that time forward I felt personally responsible, not just for my own actions, but for the very fate of the earth. I really thought it was up to me, a little kid, to save the world, and I had to do it by figuring out how societies and governments and the human psyche work. (LOL!!) By the sixth or seventh grade I had begun reading the New York Times every day and imagining myself President. It’s been quite a burden, I can tell you…”
Enid Bloch
(yes, I can imagine it has! For you and little Gweggy, both)!
And here she diagnoses herself…(AND YOU)! Accurately but apparently fails to derive the necessary conclusions or help from her lay person’s unqualified diagnosis!!
“But I also have spent much of my life struggling against these very same tendencies. That’s probably why I so detested Socrates when I first met him. We are always most angry at those people who openly display the very behaviour or desires we secretly are trying to suppress in ourselves. I hated Socrates’ need for aggressive argument, no doubt because I disdained the same need in myself.”
Enid Bloch
“Boys in Athens seem to have been quite vulnerable to sexual attack. Laws were passed to try to protect them”
Enid Bloch
LOL! All societies have laws to protect kids from sexual attack. Why should the society most concerned with examining morality and addressing what is good and best be different than ours in their concern for children? DUH!
To book photography sessions with Enid Bloch or explore the spirituality or sexuality of ancient Greeks you may go through her web site. She can tell you all about it! 30 years of professional photography has apparently helped her work out many of her childhood issues!
Have you thought of taking up photography, Gweggy?! It might help you to draw back from 24 hours a day obsessing over who had sex with whom in ancient Greece! ;-) |
