That completely depends on the addiction and the substance. Gabor Mate has written and spoken a great deal about it. There’s actually a 20 minute audio clip comparing his approach to addiction treatment with Jung’s, I’m not sure of it’s origin. Gabor Mate’s theory on addiction has ace (adverse childhood experience) scores to back it up.

There's the dead guy you don't like. Afaik, ACE theory is just from the last ~30 years, so obviously that wasn't developed to discuss yet. So I'm not impressed by an 1969 article, you're not impressed by the comeback of a century old psych theory. Fair enough.

MCM (money->commodity->money^) refers to the capitalist ability to grow their money supply by using their money to by commodities (often including labour) and resell it for more than they paid for it. The difference in what they paid vs what they sell for is the surplus that they take from the workers and buyers. I think it’s like chapter 9 of Capital vol 1. It’s pretty easy to compare that to the workers general relation to money and commodities. Worker tend to use CMC, commodity money commodity. Sell labour for money, use money to buy groceries.

Thanks you. I knew the idea, not the abbreviations. So the exchange wasn't entirely wasted. I appreciate you confirming my suspicion on the hippie generation, and defining the abbreviation for me. I hope you have a good night and great sleep.

In the realm of the hungry ghost is 15 years old. Adults of any age can report an ace score, things like divorce and cps file are hard evidence. Psychology is a science and science evolves, history does not. Even when people distort it, what happened, happened. All the same I can agree that it's fair enough.

Hope you have a good night too.

15? A Tennessee public health doctor was advocating for it around the turn off the century, but if course he was fired, records were scrubbed. Nice Tibetan Buddhist reference. In fact, I highly recommend reading the Bardo Thotle. Lots of allegory, allusion, metaphor, and simile, like any religious precursor to any psychological theory -- including the pioneers, Freud et al. 😉
