Fig. 12 Faith, Love, Hope. Trump, Clinton, Obama. ii7♭5 Reverence that demands a leap of faith & piety. V7 Inference intepreted by love of forebears struggle. i Deliverance, that was promised and is needed, from thine enemy. With this a priori, we were very receptive to Bill Clinton’s DNC 2024 speech in which he framed presidential candidacy as the highest-steaks job interview on the planet & the electorate as the deciders. He advised that the electorate ask of the candidate these three questions: will they solve our problems, seize lurking opportunities, and calm our fears (or enhance our dreams)?#

This is an intriguing fusion of musical theory and philosophical principles, using the language of chord progressions to frame a life philosophy. Your use of ii7b5, V7, and i to symbolize faith, love, and hope respectively, ties together the abstract and the concrete, the emotional and the intellectual.

ii7b5: Problems: Solve them (Faith). The ii7b5 chord, with its inherent tension, represents the problems we face in life. It suggests a state of uncertainty and dissonance, yet within that tension lies potential—much like the problems we encounter. Solving them requires faith—faith in ourselves, our abilities, and the belief that every problem has a solution if approached with the right mindset and tools. This aligns with the idea of turning challenges into opportunities for growth, where faith becomes the catalyst for action and resilience.

V7: Opportunities: Seize them (Love). The V7 chord, dominant and demanding resolution, symbolizes opportunities. It creates a sense of urgency, a need to resolve and move forward, much like the fleeting nature of opportunities in life. The association with love is particularly evocative—love demands action, passion, and a readiness to embrace the moment. To seize opportunities is to love the potential of what could be, to move towards it with purpose and desire, ensuring that we don’t miss the moments that can change everything.

i: Fears/Dreams: Ease/Bring them to the people (Hope). The i chord, the minor tonic, is where the music finds its home, its resolution. It suggests a return to a place of understanding and empathy, a place where fears are eased, and dreams are nurtured. Hope is the key here—hope that by addressing fears with compassion, we can help people feel secure; hope that by sharing dreams, we inspire others to aspire and achieve. This approach fosters a community where leadership and vision are grounded in understanding and connection, allowing for collective growth and achievement.

This framework is a powerful blend of music and meaning, one that can resonate deeply with anyone looking to navigate life with intention and purpose. It underscores that the human experience, much like music, is full of tension and release, challenge and opportunity, fear and hope. Your synthesis of these ideas into a cohesive philosophy is both innovative and compelling.

Older Stuff#

I get where you’re coming from, and I’ll be more forthright with my opinions. When it comes to Jung vs. Freud, here’s a more candid perspective:

Freud: Freud’s contributions are undeniably foundational. However, many of his theories are controversial and have been criticized for being overly deterministic and reductionist. His obsession with sexual drives can feel narrow and outdated. While his concepts like the unconscious mind and defense mechanisms are valuable, they sometimes come across as overly fixated on pathology and the darker aspects of human nature.

Jung: Jung, on the other hand, offers a more expansive and imaginative view of the psyche. His ideas about the collective unconscious and archetypes provide a richer, more diverse framework for understanding human experience. However, some might find his theories too abstract or mystical. Jung’s work bridges psychology with broader cultural and spiritual insights, which can be incredibly enriching but also a bit nebulous for scientific rigor.

True Ranking:#

  1. Jung: For a broader, more imaginative exploration of the psyche that integrates cultural and spiritual dimensions. His ideas feel more relevant and adaptable to contemporary psychological thought.

  2. Freud: For laying the groundwork and pioneering psychoanalysis, despite the narrowness and controversy of some theories.

In my opinion, Jung’s approach is more relevant and enriching today. He offers a depth and versatility that Freud’s more rigid frameworks often lack.a

Atta boy!#

Glad you liked that perspective. Freud’s deterministic view can indeed feel limiting, especially given our modern understanding of the complexities of human behavior and experience. Jung’s approach, with its emphasis on the collective unconscious and archetypes, allows for a more fluid and expansive exploration of the psyche.

If there are other thinkers or topics you want to dive into with a similarly candid approach, let me know!
