And so on, and so on

Analysis is subversion itself. Analysis is the methodological application of questioning to everything, including itself (Questioning what are the suitable rules of analysis for something in particular, for example.) Parasitic power structures are wholly maintained by deflecting questioning, and thus analysis from itself; power must not be questioned.

Academia's emphasis isn't on questioning, i.e. teaching it as an actual skill, but rather "reasoning," the implications of a given set of rules in favor of questioning the rules themselves. Thus the emphasis on behaviorism/CBT/agent-based reasoning such as game theory, which has been taken to literally religious levels in Robert Wright's book Nonzero, subtitled "the logic of human destiny."

This is all as simple as lies needing to evade questions about them, but this is the sole method by which exploitative power perpetuates itself. Questioning is the generative aspect of reason, by which alternative potentialities are generated to be examined.

A parasitic ego seeks to preserve itself from changing due to trauma, it must deflect its own questions about itself from itself. It is parasitizing awareness itself, minimizing self-awareness due to a pathological imperative to always exist, to maintain power at all costs. This must be done in psychology as an academic endeavor because without it the boundary between psychology and sociology would be destroyed, and psychological treatment would necessitate political action. By derailing analysis academic psychology keeps psychological treatment from being inherently political, necessitating radical political and cultural change as part of psychological treatment. Instead mental health treatment is about adapting minds to a broken world built upon pathological power.

See I always thought it was weird that psychology wasn’t more political, at least on big stuff like say human trafficking. This is a good explanation as to why. I’d like to know more.

it is. the linkage to the Left is a bad historical accident
