"Then Ben saw Mira, He completely dropped his bag of corn chips. "Hi." Ben said, picking up his chips. "Hello." replied Mira, walking slowly around Ben like a cat circling its prey...but for Ben she looked more like bacon wrapped around a chili dog. It got even more intense once Ben realized she was about to speak. Ben was sweating now; he was short of breath and didn't know what to say. Mira was a sexy and forbidden woman of obvious great intelligence. Ben then yelled the greatest best lie he could think of: "My cat is going to die at 5 o'clock today!" Mira and the sound of her black and turquoise colored 4 inch high heels came to a halt. She turned to Ben; she licked the Kit Kat chocolate off one finger and then after a brief pause said: "Did you say cat... or... kitten?"

This is a book of a collection of short stories written by my now deceased father. He called them humorous. I call them a great example of the inner workings of a sociopath and sexual deviant. Though he went out of his way not to use a swear word, he did write a lot about sexual things. My father was abusive and considered himself the center of the universe. Everybody else was stupid and did not deserve to share the same air as him. The idea that he wa special was something he was taught by his mother. Because of that, he believed that he was above the law and absolutely above the rules; those were for lesser mortals. There are some funny stories in here. For that reason, I recommend that everybody should read it. You get the best of both worlds. One, you get to be entertained. Second, you get schooled on how these degenerates think. That is a huge advantage in a world gone amuck. Oh, and did I say that it was also entertaining? Sometimes, even funny.

In the third and final volume of the series, Computational Complexity in Psychiatric Agency, Moldenhauer explores the ultimate extension of the topics of a computational theory of operator and interpreter replacing the ultimately flawed subjectivity of the subject and analyst. With the possibility of a systemic enframing of the analyst as the interpreter and the phenomenological epoche of the subject as an operator, the road is set for not only a self-analytic or lay analytic, but of a machine-assisted analysis. Moldenhauer explores the profound nature of consciousness and its complexities, moving beyond reductionist perspectives that attempt to explain it solely through brain processes. Instead, the book presents a holistic understanding that recognizes consciousness as a fundamental aspect of reality, transcending the boundaries of the material world. Moldenhauer examines AI systems that exhibit elements of consciousness and agency, prompting us to question the ethical implications and consider the similarities between AI and biological organisms. This exploration disrupts conventional perspectives and sparks profound inquiries into the intersection of human and artificial psychology. "Computation Complexity in Psychiatric Agency" offers a thought-provoking inquiry into the essence of existence. Moldenhauer invites readers to reflect on the profound mysteries of consciousness, complexity, and agency, encouraging a deeper exploration of the subject matter. Through a clinical lens, the book provides an analytical framework for understanding the intricate interplay between consciousness, computation, and the fabric of reality. Prepare to challenge your assumptions and expand your understanding of the human mind. This book aims to redefine our comprehension of agency, consciousness, and the evolving field of artificial psychology.

The idea of love, hopefully includes romance, sex, and reciprocity. Yet, the archetypal idea of love, brings a greater-use into the love-act, and when that good-use gets developed within each of us as individuals, there is a greater chance of manifesting the outer riches we are seeking.The Archetypal idea of love has a higher use, besides manifesting in individuals as good-use. The goal is for it to build a permanent home in us. Yet, most times the body does not live a full life, or long enough to achieve it. An inner permanent home gets made from the affection of love in proportion that an individual dwells on it, and hopes for it. A good-use would be using the affection of archetypal love, to unites all levels of our being, and to begin a new relationship from within.Even the idea developed while you read this book is enough to attract the affections that cause our own spiritual regeneration. We are reaching into the archetypal world where it all began, looking to align ourselves inwardly spiritually, equally to the feelings of love and acceptance that we are seeking outwardly. Once we balance the inner with the outer, the polarity of the body shifts to the center, and the archetypal love as intuition restores our memory of what we truly are.In that memory of ourselves, a feeling radiates out from our body as big as the universe. The mind begins to understand concepts of archetypal love. We immediately comprehend that the more we enclose others in our affectionate love, the more the good-use can make a permanent home in our body. When the inner center strengthens, all mind-chatter ends. Every time we make ourselves feel as big as the universe, we are filled with the memory of the One Self. Yet, each time we bring ourselves back to thinking of ourselves in a body, we attract the pleasurable feeling of Conjugial love.
