Cooloff - Jung vs. Thantos - After High School
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL:THOUGHT YOU’D BE THERE HOLDING DAISIES
THE LAKE / OR GAME-BOY ;
IF A SUBJECTIVITY WOULD SEEK AN END, IT WOULD BE A
PURPOSELESS PURPOSE... (AN END IN ITSELF)
LIKE, ART FOR ART’S SAKE...
YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR OWN REASONS
THAT’S WHY SUBJECTIVITY IS WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE AND WHAT
MAKES US ALL TOGETHER... BECAUSE WE’RE ALL IN THE SAME
SITUATION...
KANT SAYS IT’S COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE...
IT SEEKS FULL EXPRESSION IN A WORLD, A JOURNEY, FULL
INCARNATION

NATHAN: “After high school most people just go to sleep.”
DRESDEN: “That’s when most people figure out what they want
to do.”
Seems like you’re just going to go to sleep, that’s what
everybody does,
That’s what the future is for,
NATHAN: “You know what we need is some big disaster. Like
in all your favorite movies. Whenever something terrible is
happening, everything is fine. It’s regular life that’s the
tragedy.”
NATHAN: “We’re not gonna make it.”
Dresden looks at him.
NATHAN: “Humans, I mean.”
DRESDEN: “It is within your nature to destroy yourself.”
NATHAN: “Thank you Freud. I prefer to stay Jung.” (note:
what is Jung’s stance on thanatos?)
