The hosts believe that the primary driving force of [[psychoanalysis]] is [[drive theory]], which they believe [[Deleuze]] actively opposes.
[[Descartes]] started the trend that [[philosophy]] and [[science]] should be about avoiding error, though [[Deleuze]] believed the problem was banality. (?) Deleuze thought that this manner of thinking limited freedom, e.g. put boundaries on what could be thought. Even though the [[theory of relativity]] may be literally correct, proposing ideas that contradicted it could be seen as a limitation on freedom[^fn:1].
[[Deleuze]] is working against [[Hegel]], who didn’t necessarily believe in error-free thinking.
[[Deleuze]] wants a “beyond without contradiction.”
[[Spinoza]] believed that God’s prohibitions were prohibitions of things that are bad for us, so there’s no evil, just bad.
1 A potential problem with this line of thinking is the actual, real world problems that free thought in this case has. One example would be with [[COVID-19]] denialism and vaccine skepticism.
