“Aw, what the hell. If I were to die, so what? What’s so great about life anyway?” Or, with less clarity, simply said, “Well nobody lives forever!” Do they sound like the pronouncements of a species that has a tremendous will to live? No, in fact, alongside our Will to Live, we have not only a Will to Die but even a will to self-destruction. Right about now, it might be occurring to you how this makes sense of so much, seemingly insane, human behavior we’ve seen of late. This Will to Die explains why we continue nonchalantly our march to armageddon. It shines light on how we can suck up air in cities that gives us raging allergies, clogs our lungs as bad as chronic smoking would, and will kill off the children we raise there long before their times. It reveals how we could drink poisoned water; blithely go about our business as the globe fills up with nuclear radiation and makes its way into our food supplies and as our government refuses even to test for it; and turn our backs as the oceans die, and killer tornadoes, floods, firestorms, hurricanes, “ice bombs,” earthquakes, mudslides, and tsunamis chalk up thousands in the kill column.

I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 40 So Freud took it beyond our inner struggles and talked about how the events of the world, the actions and movements of history, and the dramas of all the ages are in fact the products of this inner struggle. At this very moment, our lesser, self-destructive selves are taking us on a path that leads inevitably, one way or another, to cataclysmic species extinction, including us. But not just that, being the “overachieving” species we are, we are bringing total life extinction to this planet — the death of virtually all life on this Earth — and possibly even planetary annihilation. The point is that humans, along with a Will to Life that is undeniable, also have a Will to Death. How many times have you woken up, thought about all the pressures and obligations, or complexities, responsibilities ... thought about all the seemingly insurmountable obstacles or challenges that you are facing ... thought about all the things that just have to get done; yet you feel that you could not possibly have the time to do all of them? How many times have you woken up and felt overwhelmed with what life has become and not wished to just curl up, go back to sleep, and never wake up again? How many times have you taken to drugs or intoxicants in full knowledge of their negative and even dire concomitants and simply thought to yourself, “Aw, what the hell. If I were to die, so what? What’s so great about life anyway?” Or, with less clarity, simply said, “Well nobody lives forever!”

It results, also, in a disposition where we don’t care about the truth. So we fall into saying things instead to hurt, get revenge, to get back at, regardless the facts, the unfairness, the injustice. It motivates us to say untruths to get advantage, to disable our competitors, as we see so blatantly with Trump. Yet in all of us it drives a tendency to hide from the evils we commit, which only enslaves us further in the hiding of them. It makes us jealous of those who find happiness or pleasure in their lives and impels us to lash out at them and make them suffer the way we, on the inside, know that we do. All this it does, and so much more. Thanatos is why there are always Republicans or something like them — Pharisees, Puritans, Inquisitors. Our death drive is the reason there are times in which these annihilating and sabotaging folks hold sway — stifling, life- and creativity-averse, stagnant and little-changing times: the Middle Ages, for example. The time in America since 1980, when America — confronted with so much change and pushed to grow personally more than it ever had, and regardless of the obvious gains in having better lives that came of that struggle — out of that death wish wanted to return to the Fifties, and still does. Going back and forth in the decades since then, we find ourselves, between progress (Eros) and this image of a golden age of the Fifties (Thanatos), painted by Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and now Trump. 4. HUMANS WANT TO DIE Page 39

4. HUMANS WANT TO DIE Page 39 This self-defeating tendency moves us to beat up on our bodies and abuse them with all kinds of substances and behaviors. As well as to avoid doing the things we know would make us healthier and feel better, wanting somehow to fall into the easy misery of dis-ease. It makes us charge straight into toxic environments and situations, with an attitude of invincibility, defying the “gods” to take us down, the environmental poisons to affect us. Tchaikovsky, the renowned Russian composer died of such an attitude. At only fifty-three, while in a public restaurant, reputedly he defiantly downed a drink of unboiled water he knew contained cholera; some say it was suicide. What a perfect metaphor for such an attitude. A Will to Die, a death wish. How clearly it shows it should not be downplayed — it has consequences beyond dire, they’re deadly. It makes us reckless, courting death, engaging in dangerous activities for no reason but the thrill of it — the sense it gives that we are actually alive and not dead the way mostly we feel. And there’s a hint for you. It results, also, in a disposition where we don’t care about the truth. So we fall into saying things instead to hurt, get revenge, to get back at, regardless the facts, the unfairness, the injustice.

“Other Times I Can Barely See.” Freud also saw that we have at other times an opposite drive or instinct that we wish to die. That feeling causes us to want to live in the dark; to not be around people; to shy away from life and the light and being seen and recognized and even to wanting to be lonely. This self-sabotaging compulsion causes us to not care about fun, to hate and be angry, indeed to hate everyone and even to want to lash out at them for no reason other than what might be self-labeled as “spite.” This downward pull makes us want to despise goodness, calling such things “kumbaya moments”; or saying something is “schmaltzy” or “gay”; or to be saying that all that good stuff is just “drama.” This part of our disposition causes us to be jealous of others who are more giving and to hate them for that, to call people “do-gooders,” “goody two-shoes” and to impugn their motives as being they are trying to show they are better than us. It has us putting out terms like “bleeding heart” liberals and to say the positive change being striven for in the world by activists is come of “narcissists” who somehow — in caring about the world and those around them more than themselves — are “thinking too much of themselves.” I.

I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 38 lives ... our deaths.... Eros Versus Thanatos In the struggle between the current powers of life and death, it is helpful to remember Freud’s paradigm-shifting observations about the human psyche regarding Eros and Thanatos, what he called the death drive. Freud showed how all human lives are drawn out against the background of each person’s inner struggle between the opposing forces of life and death ... Eros and Thanatos. Freud advanced an understanding that made his insights revolutionary, specifically, that each of us carry within us a Will to Die. “Sometimes the Lights Are Shining on Me.” Freud observed that we act out a will to live and to be in the sun and to have fun and to love and to like goodness and health and truth. That’s Eros. We share it with all of Nature. “Other Times I Can Barely See.” Freud also saw that we have at other times an opposite drive or instinct that we wish to die. That feeling causes us to want to live in the dark; to not be around people; to shy away from life and the light and being seen and recognized and even to wanting to be lonely.

So they must struggle mightily to not know what they indeed do know. Now, try that burden on for size. And just be glad that you are not them. They exist within that nightmare reality; they see it portrayed before and all around them. They are convinced we are living in it, too. So they have not even the respite, like watching a horror film, of ever walking out of the theater and thinking, “Well, I’m glad that was only a movie.” Hence, it is no coincidence that these sorry sorts are attracted to fantasies of denial, such as denying climate change, denying the Holo- caust, denying the atrocities committed by religions or their own governments. In striving to be shiny, happy people they create inner hells and outer monsters. Not only hell do they create, but many of the hellacious things on Earth are the offspring of these lives. For many suffer and die as a consequence of their fear-driven supreme efforts to bring their horrible reality into the actual world — the one we live in. Look to the wars and atrocities of all time, and you will see how much of it was perpetrated by people completely possessed by such horribly insane convictions.

Sympathy for the Bedeviled Simply look at the lives of these people and imagine those multitudes and the incredible pain, utter lovelessness, utterly miserable and confused minds they carry as adults. Then think beyond them to the many-fold more of the masses who have similar but lesser versions of lives and experiences as the “enraptured.” Add to that the incredible power of fear ... not only fear; but fear that has, well, demonically, been projected into the biggest expanse existing in the universe — that of the imagination and that of the Unknown, combined. If you can get a sense of that fear, even a small part, you will realize the utter terror that awakens them, that is there in the middle of the night as they approach consciousness, and which, like a squirming frog, inhabits, nay, becomes the daytime brain and thoughts of these people, and motivates them to do anything, anything at all, that might promise a snippet of relief.

So it is that when a demagogue like Donald Trump gives word to their unrealities, their delusions, they are giddy with joy. For here is the chance to have their cooked-up mythologies confirmed, their defenses against the obvious redeemed, and for them to be justified for all the grief they cannot help but feel for having gone against the facts their whole lives. This is another reason they need to enlist other people in their untruths and have the media, in addition to Donald Trump, echo it: It adds to the reality of these lies ... the Big Lie repeated becomes more true ... and boosts their defense against, and attacks on, the truth of their reality which asserts itself over and over — “truth will out” — during their life and increasingly more as they get older. This also explains their behavior’s increasing rigidity with time and its downright obdurate nature when these folks become curmudgeons, so typical of the elderly.

They will call themselves “blessed,” instead. No problem there. It’s their life, right? However, this sad insanity they impose on all and everyone. Of the actual pathetic nature of their lives they know intuitively but without letting themselves think it. That is not unlike the way they handle any of the other uncomfortable truths and “inconvenient” facts of their lives, by the way. They will similarly know intuitively the climate is going to shit, that Trump is a liar. Yet they’ll concoct another fantasy — they do it “instinctively” by now — like they have already done about their monster god and their lives come of their religious upbringings, that will affirm the opposite of the truth. “Alternative facts,” again. As psychohistorians would say it, they live in a “trance state.” There is no way really to get through to them. They also know in their muscles that saying the lie out, and loudly, can help in reinforcing their precious untruths. For these dear fabrica- tions, when heard coming from the outside — even if it is simply one’s own voice that one is hearing echoed back — have greater weight and… 4. HUMANS WANT TO DIE Page 35

Leave it to humans to be so cut off from the reality of a loving God as to wish to be dead instead. For they have managed, with their imagination running loose and totally without even one lifeline to anything loving or nice — either in their own life’s experiences or in the mythology of reality they have been forced to accept — to come up with the most unimaginably horrifying view of their lives, and its prospects. “Alternative Facts” So these sad bedeviled know deep inside how miserable they are. But they find a way to stave off the realization of that truth and of its horrific roots in their suffering in childhood, through denying their unhappiness. Fake smiles, “put on a happy face,” perfect grooming, spiffed up attire for church or persnickety duds for the office, to bely to oneself as well as others what they are really feeling, are habits after a while. Self-loathing and the tragedy of their lives is nipped in the bud with precise cuts and fastidious attention to the placement of every hair on their heads; perfumes and colognes cover any residual, however potentially liberating, discontent. They take up arms against their misery and engage in an endless battle trying desperately to believe ... and unfortunately for us, assert ... that the opposite is true: That is, that their experience is happy. They will call themselves “blessed,” instead.

For this father “god” will not just punish by merely ending your life but will persecute you in what has to be the most extreme kind of torture ever to be imagined — being forced to live forever but every moment of it being in extreme pain and suffering. And these folks have to somehow twist their brains into thinking this “god,” this monster, is actually loving rather than the obvious. Imagine the cognitive dissonance in that! Think, then, how motivated they are to rationalize their realities, regardless the warped facts and illusory perspectives come of that. En-Raptured’s Apocalyptic Death Wish The parents were forced to buy into that horrific view of the ultimate reality of it all when they were young. Then their kids slavishly followed them in this insanity. Is it any wonder then that their wish is to be dead!? So the reaction formation is that of creating the kind of life where, unlike their own childhood, they would be loved, cherished, seen, made to feel special, and so on.

Also, look around you in the cities or on the internet. The people you see have no concern, let alone awareness, of their dire predicament ... no urgency or apocalypse emergency. It is the veritable zombie apocalypse before us. It is no wonder that folks are enamored of this revolting image of walking dead people everywhere, which we see on the silver screen and which pervades our current cultural consciousness. Indeed, what we see surrounding us in the numbed and deadened responses to our apocalypse emergency is the most disturbing of any evidence I have seen supporting what Sigmund Freud called the death instinct, and others following him have dubbed Thanatos, and the Will to Die. More on that, coming up.

No, these other folks are actively blocking out the information that might counter their denial. Trump and his supporters could not be better examples of this current tendency to want to block out facts and substitute “alternative facts” — i.e., lies — to aid one in one’s denial. We have climate deniers now, who are going around saying we have no problem with global warming. No, they say, that is all a story by some bad folks who just want to control us. Donald Trump has currently become the epitome of this twisted thinking. To which I think, seriously, how convenient. How convenient to proclaim there is not a problem when the dilemma if faced would seem hopeless. How easy, then, to scratch away, rummaging for snippets, misconstructions of facts, words taken out of context, and the delusionary fabrications of others doing the same to concoct a conspiracy that would get oneself, and one’s conscience, off the hook. More than that, which would rationalize our current tendencies, wrought of our flawed upbringings, to brutalize and rape the Earth, extracting all we can for our own benefit, consequences be damned.
