Jim:Actually, it would have been Freudian, as you are projecting a non-scum persona while (if you are scum) holding the underlying scum identity as subconscious to it. Your subconscious scum self would have answered the question instead of the assumed conscious townie. It doesn't mean you always subconsciously feel like scum, only when you actually are scum, which is when you have the additional subconscious scum layer and are "dynamically repressing" it.
A normal slip is when one merely misspeaks, a freudian slip is when the subconscious train of thought or personality shines through unexpectedly. Like consciously thinking "wouldn't" (because you want to convey that being scum is a hypothetical case), but saying "won't" (because in actuality it matches reality, and the underlying scum personality slips through).
Relevance to mafia: 0.061%
(And we can account for that amount through background relevance.)
Thank you for bring it up again, it gives me an opportunity to correct: after talking with someone who actually knows about the topic, Think is right in that the
technical term Freudian slip doesn't quite apply, since there's a difference between "unconscious" and "deliberately secret", and that "dynamically repressed" doesn't mean what I thought it did. It is still consistent with the
colloquial use of "Freudian slip", though, which has diluted the distinction considerably.
This however, does not change the argument that his slip (freudian or not) shows an underlying scum personality breaking through when he attempted and failed to answer the question like a townie would.
And you ignored my question about exactly this.
I assume you mean this one:
That's great. Who cares?
Why are you (and Toaster) yapping about miller theory when you could be building a case or stating your suspicions instead?
Didn't answer because it read like a rhetorical question, more so since you also weren't building a case or stating suspicions. But the answer is easy: I care and others seemed to, it's an interesting topic, and I explicitly said it should be the last exchange about it. Furthermore, I do not constrain myself to the list of "Jim-approved" topics for discussion. I'll talk about what I please, thank you.
Imiknorris:Bookthras: Who do you suspect other than Think?
I have nothing really concrete yet. My gut suspects Toaster, Tolyk and you. Please tell me, what do you think about Tiruin's claim? Would you have claimed if you were a double voter? Why did you back down from the Think vote as soon as you were called out for it? What's your read on Dariush and Hapah so far?
