Idiocy

Having just looked up Freud's definition of the id, I find myself laughing: 'uncoordinated, instinctual trends' within the human mind. It is nervous laughter.

It suggests that we are slaves to our behaviour patterns. I reluctantly agree.

My observations have proven to me that we submit to our instincts for much of our decision making. We don't think about it. We like something. We don't know why and we gravitate toward it helplessly. Like me and GarageBand.

The more frightening side comes from contemplating mass behaviour. Uncoordinated, instinctual mass behaviour. Like witch burning and lynching and guillotining and tea bagging without using Red Rose tea bags. And atheist stoning possibly - depending.
