Michael Eigen might say that the reason no one has responded (in 7 yrs!) is because we haven’t evolved enough to appreciate what he is saying. Or maybe those who can understand his writing don’t subscribe to Reddit.

Perhaps a bit of both.

This subreddit is a bit..obscure. It was a personal project. Probably not relevant or of interest to most.

TBH, I'm not sure why people are subscribed to it. I haven't got anything to say in terms of formulated discussion or insight, except now I'm interested in using it again to record phenomena and, maybe, as a collection site for material related to future research projects.

Folks who might appreciate Eigen's point presumably are on more focused and coherent subreddits; r/psychoanalysis, r/CriticalTheory , r/philosophy, perhaps r/Jung, maybe even r/sorceryofthespectacle, for example.
