Can't believe I'm the first to comment. Slow weekend I guess.

Video critique: what a difference a camera angle makes! The Tiananmen Square photo collage is IMO a way better background than those black curtains. (Nice subliminal message there too.) I suggest moving the union placards up a bit so that we can read "proud".

Outfitwise, I gotta go with the button-up shirts. Just looks more like a dude that I want to pay attention to. Effects of lifelong conditioning I guess.

Any suggestions on where to start in that Adam Phillips collection you mentioned in "Other People's Lives"? And I would, as well, be interested in reading your thoughts on psychoanalysis more generally.
