id: i want to begin drinking beer as soon as i get home.
superego: i don't want to begin drinking beer as soon as i get home.

. . .

id: i want to throttle that idiot in front of the line who can't decide which scratcher to buy.
superego: i want to wait patiently like a good person.
id: i want to smash a 2 liter bottle of cola on that idiot's head while he cashes in his $2 scratcher so he can play again while i'm waiting.
superego: i am a good person.

. . .

id: i need new boots.
superego: i need to pay rent.

. . .

id: Martha's show is a must see on Wednesday nights.
superego: i have homework.
id: You are weak. Embrace your weakness.
superego: i am a responsible person.
id: Fuck you. You're weak and you know it.

. . .

id: Light beer is for sissies. It tastes bad.
superego: i can always do an extra set of stairmaster tomorrow.
id: That's my girl.

. . .

id: Leftover pizza tastes great with a beer.
superego: i believe it does. But still.

. . .

ego: Can't we all just get along? i suggest a compromise. i was good, and didn't smash a 2 liter bottle of cola on that idiot's head, therefore i deserve to reward myself by drinking a beer and watching Martha.
id: What about the pizza?

. . .

id: i need new boots.
superego: mmm boots.

1 Excellent. Very clever. Very funny. (do you really have to be a lawyer?) Freud says that now you are aware of your superego, you are at the end of your phallic stage of development. I am sure you are happy to get that behind you. Freud was certainly a bullshit artist, wasn't he?

7 Introspection is one of the most significant attributes of an advanced mindset. Apply liberally. Humorous introspection allows us to banter about that which is serious, while keeping seriousness at arm's length, plausibly deniable. I'm reminded, if tangentially, of Jefferson's debate between his Head and Heart, and of Eramus' "The Praise of Folly".
