Official Great Works Draft (3 Viewers)

[Postradamus]

TO THE PICKS!

I would like to apologize for picking so great. It's my fault that you all have to reach for good picks. I'm taking all the good ones, I know this, I realize this. I'm trying to pick bad, I just can't do it. I'm sorry for the problems my expert drafting skills have caused.

24.08 The Interpretation of Dreams [Die Traumdeutung] - Sigmund Freud (Non-Fiction)

Published in 1900, translated into English 1913. Trained as a doctor, Freud soon began investigating the use of hypnosis in the treatment of hysteria. This marked the beginnings of psychoanalysis as we know it today. With further refinement into free association which allows emotionally charged material that the individual had repressed in his unconscious to emerge to conscious recognition.

It has had enormous influence in psychiatry, psychology, literary interpretation, history, art, biography, and cinema. Apart from its influence, The Interpretation of Dreams is of great importance because of the book’s development of Freud’s theory of dreams and because it contains the first systematic discussion of what many regard as his greatest discovery: the unconscious mind.

Whether we love or hate Sigmund Freud, we all have to admit that he revolutionized the way we think about ourselves. Much of this revolution can be traced to The Interpretation of Dreams, the turn-of-the-century tour de force that outlined his theory of unconscious forces in the context of dream analysis. Introducing the id, the superego, and their problem child, the ego, Freud advanced scientific understanding of the mind immeasurably by exposing motivations normally invisible to our consciousness. While there's no question that his own biases and neuroses influenced his observations, the details are less important than the paradigm shift as a whole. After Freud, our interior lives became richer and vastly more mysterious.

These mysteries clearly bothered him--he went to great (often absurd) lengths to explain dream imagery in terms of childhood sexual trauma, a component of his theory jettisoned mid-century, though now popular among recovered-memory therapists. His dispassionate analyses of his own dreams are excellent studies for cognitive scientists wishing to learn how to sacrifice their vanities for the cause of learning. Freud said of the work contained in The Interpretation of Dreams, "Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime." One would have to feel quite fortunate to shake the world even once.

Hasn't much of Freud's work been strongly questioned by latter day Psychologists?

OK, this message is for Misfit Blondes. I prefer to do it here so everyone can read it- I don't want to hide anything. Misfit Blondes, when you drafted "The Immaculate Reception" as a play, your major complaint was that I didn't explain my rejection of it. As I wrote, the reason I hesitated to do so at the time was because I respected you too much to believe you would need a detailed explanation. But after you kept it up for a full day, I finally relented and did explain it to you, and you accepted it and moved on. When you drafted "Wrestlemania" I sought to avoid my previous possible error and immediately explained why I would not accept it, again in great detail. I gave you a chance to appeal, which you refused. Instead you began to insult me here openly. As in the previous pick, other people came in here to insult me as well. Perhaps they know you, perhaps they don't; I have no opinion on that. Though you did not appeal, Krista and Doug weighed in anyhow. Krista said she would accept it if you would choose one episode; I'm assuming she was having fun with this. Doug B upheld my rejection. Now, I must intervene here with a comment in response to those who have questioned in the last day, why don't I just accept Misfit Blondes' pick here and simply give it a terrible ranking? The answer is that if I do so, it will open the door to more picks that I personally regard as ludicrous, and the draft that so many of us have put so much effort into would collapse into a rather silly joke. I fully realize there are people reading this who probably regard this sort of thing as a joke already. But I don't, and I don't think most of the other drafters do, either.Misfit Blondes' response to this final rejection was to simply ignore it and to continue to insult me. He insists that (1) he will keep the pick (2) he will ignore this ruling and all of my future rulings (3) and he will ignore my judging of the plays category. I can only logically assume that Misfit Blondes is intent on (a) disrupting the draft (b) causing me to quit, or © both. In the meantime, several other drafters have now called for Misfit Blondes to be kicked out of the draft. As commissioner, that has always been my decision. But I am reluctant to do it. Several of Misfit Blondes' picks have been worthy and deserve consideration, just as he deserves consideration for making them.Here is what I propose instead: Misfit Blondes, obviously you have a problem with me; that's fine, I can ignore that. I am asking you now in the name of the effort that you have put into this to put aside your current position, accept the veto, accept my evaluations, and stay in the draft. I'm not going to argue with you about it. If your response is as before that you refuse to do so, that you plan on ignoring me, then I will insist on you leaving the draft immediately. The choice is yours; I am not going to discuss it with you. If you believe that I have wronged you in the past, then I apologize for that. I forgive you for anything you might have written negatively about me. I urge you to join me in forgetting about this, moving on, and having fun. It's completely up to you; I await your response.

I'll admit that MB is the bigger #####, but you realize how ridiculous you look here, right?

I had that exact same problem in the WGD. I blew it when I overlooked Da Gama and took Cousteau, then had DaGama for a next round makeup pick and missed out on Pavarotti...But I did feel guilty until then

This is true for the majority of scientists/researchers regularly cited as the greatest of all time (obviously replacing 'psychologists' with the applicable field).

The Google Site only supports 500 items per List, so no 1200 picks to list in handy, sortable fashion on one page.

I can add another list page, two actually, but it kind of loses it's luster to not have the capability to sort on one.

I've got it all on a spreadsheet too if anybody wants to look at it - which anyone can paste into a spreadsheet of their own and sort as they wish.

Thoughts, suggestions? There may an easy way to fix the Google Site, but creative thought escapes me at the moment.

He is going to turn these replies into a Novella - "Flies in the Ointment" BTW - Tim, were you going to post more of your novel? Don't let the smartasses influence you - anyone that puts time and effort into a project, and is willing to put themselves out there with it, deserves respect.

24.05 Animal Farm (non fiction)

This is a novel. The short novel is dystopian allegory in which animals play the roles of the Bolshevik revolutionaries[4] and overthrow and oust the human owner of a farm (Manor Farm), renaming it Animal Farm and setting it up as a commune in which, at first, all animals are equal; however, class and status disparities soon emerge between the different animal species (the pigs being the "more equal species"). The novel describes how a society's ideologies can be manipulated and twisted by those in positions of social and political power, including how Utopian society is made impossible by the corrupting nature of the very power necessary to create it.

The novel addresses not only the corruption of the revolution by its leaders but also how wickedness, indifference, ignorance, greed and myopia destroy any possibility of a Utopia. While this novel portrays corrupt leadership as the flaw in revolution (and not the act of revolution itself), it also shows how potential ignorance and indifference to problems within a revolution could allow horrors to happen if smooth transition to a people's government isn't satisfied. This was based on a true story of what the animals might well have done while the farmers weren't looking.

Better than 1984, IMO.

Relax Humma. It's a laughable claim, sounding more like something Tim or Larryboy would say.1984 is far and above Animal Farm. Animal Farm is good, but it's more akin to a political fairy tale than a great novel.

EDIT: Oops, I just realized KRISTA4 is the one who made the claim. Perhaps I should soften the language or something.

REDEUX -

Relax Humma. It's a fair opinion but not one most people would make.

1984 is a superior novel, both in complexity and originality, to the political allegory of Animal Farm.

Much better.

Seriously chomping at the bit for my next pick (for the first time in forevah). Where's thatguy? I know Dubya and Ron White won't hold things up.

Ok - I will bitePlease explain the "Ron White" references

Dude -I'm throwing chum in the water; I don't even have a line attached.

TO THE PICKS!I would like to apologize for picking so great. It's my fault that you all have to reach for good picks. I'm taking all the good ones, I know this, I realize this. I'm trying to pick bad, I just can't do it. I'm sorry for the problems my expert drafting skills have caused.

Norwood to the white courtesy phone. I believe we may have another ### slapper.

We're not even halfway through this draft and I'm already weary of some of these arguments. Let's try to have a smooth draft from here on, OK? For my part, I promise to try not to be close minded, not to be too longwinded, and not to make assumptions about people's intentions.

With pick 24.14, Team BobbyLayne™ selects -The Bowl of Opium, Marijuana, and Hash I Smoked Junior Year In College, by Flysack and unnamed housemates - Composition

As Wikkidpissah is our compositions judge, I will defer to his judgment. I suspect you will receive a fairly high ranking.

high is exactly how i would rank it.
