le intellectual scorn

What was his fucking problem?

What was *their* problem, you mean? The collective group of "intellectuals" who, in every photo, make sure to posture and hold some laughable expression of intent seriousness? Perhaps you will notice not one of them comes across as a genius. No, artistic and STEM geniuses often hold and indifferent expression or a lighthearted one because they are involved with fulfilling work which they can leave behind them when taking a photograph. The "scorners" are less interested in their work and more in their narcissistic climbing of a power hierarchy. Nietzsche, a professional scorner, often changed his opinions based on personal matters (see "The Birth of Tragedy" vs "The Case For Wagner". The latter happened to be written after a personal falling out). Or Freud, who """""feinted""""" when Jung gave a speech after he had a personal falling out with him. And those are merely two examples.

It's pathetic. Plain and simple, a symptom of the posturing hack who goes about his work as if he were Hercules.

>being this futile

I'd like to see a portrait of a notable person, from any field, taken in the 19th century where they wear a lighthearted expression.

Proust
Whitman
Joyce
Gogol
Pushkin

No, they're actual geniuses who don't have to worry about making le intellectual scorn because they're not pathetic hacks.

The irony is that many of these were reportedly narcissistic, neurotic bullies in their personal life and Freud, as if it mattered in the slightest, was a kind-hearted old man, which can be witnessed in his vast, widely published and translated correspondence.

Plus, Lacan was the most laidback mofo in his pictures, so that begs the question: why was he, an actual genius, obsessed with such a pathetic hack?!

I feel like I'm throwing you too much of a bone by allow this ridiculous ~debate~ to flourish.
Maybe it's the anonymity of /lit/ that enables people to break the threshold of silliness and use a thinker's bitch face as an argument.

Many of his patients killed themselves.

If Freud was such a kind-hearted old man, why did Anna turn out so badly, a maladjusted virgin?

To clarify: by his patients, I mean Lacan's.

Lacan's standpoint about unconscious is to go from desire to a responsible action. His patients killing themselves should be judged according to each case to question whether they did so or not.
Also, an analyst has little to no responsibility about the analysand's actions. That's exactly the point about psychoanalysis, to abandon self-pity and resignation to one's circumstances.
