Übersicht mit KI
The statement "The real madness is not let out the repressed feelings but the denial of feeling in a frozen smile" is a philosophical idea suggesting that true madness lies in the suppression of emotions and the pretense of an emotionless facade, rather than the chaotic expression of emotions. It challenges the conventional view of madness as uncontrolled emotional outbursts by proposing that the internal concealment and denial of genuine feelings, symbolized by a "frozen smile," can be a more profound and destructive form of mental turmoil.
Here's a breakdown of the statement's meaning:
"Letting out repressed feelings":
This refers to the common perception of madness as an uncontrolled release of pent-up emotions, leading to erratic or irrational behavior.
"Denial of feeling in a frozen smile":
This represents the act of suppressing one's true emotions, masking them with a superficial, unfeeling outward expression. This implies a deep internal struggle and a disconnection from one's inner emotional state.
"The real madness":
The statement posits that this hidden internal conflict and emotional denial are a more profound and perhaps more damaging form of "madness" than the outward expression of feelings.
In essence, the quote suggests that the effort to maintain a facade of emotional control and to hide true feelings can be a more extreme form of mental disturbance than the more visible and less controlled expression of those same feelings.

Übersicht mit KI
Sound can be used to break the will, produce fear, or to induce discomfort through techniques like high-volume, repetitive, or dissonant noises, as well as inaudible infrasound that creates a sense of unease or a feeling of supernatural presence. In film and other media, sound design uses various frequencies, amplitudes, and spatial audio to manipulate the human psyche, with the goal of creating specific emotional responses, including primal fear and constant anxiety.
How Sound Induces Fear and Discomfort
Dissonance and Infrasound:
Extreme bass waves (infrasound) or a lack of harmony (dissonance) in musical notes can create feelings of unease and discomfort. Infrasound, which is often inaudible, can evoke unsettling sensations or a vague feeling that something odd is happening.
Disruption of Safety:
Deliberately designed sounds, such as sharp metallic screeches in a silent environment, can disrupt a person's sense of safety and induce constant anxiety.
Anxiety-Inducing Sounds:
High volume and timed sound effects, especially when timed with visual moments, are effective at evoking fear. Medium volume sounds can evoke anxiety, and both can be used in conjunction with silence to increase suspense.
Familiar Rhythms, Twisted:
Composers can take familiar sounds and alter their tempo, pitch, or volume to create fear in unexpected ways. Speeding up a sound, for instance, can increase suspense and tension.
Acoustic Mimicry:
Sounds that have a scream-like quality are particularly effective at inducing fear, as they are acoustically similar to a human scream.
Examples in Media
Horror Films:
Sound design in horror uses these techniques to create suspense and terror. By manipulating sound, designers can make viewers feel vulnerable and on edge, even if they aren't consciously aware of how the sound is affecting them.
Video Games:
The original Dead Space video game is a prime example of using sound design to induce fear by disrupting the player's sense of safety with silence punctuated by sharp, random-sounding screeches.

For the living organism is the protecting from stimulus an almost more important task - than the need for ... (A. Lowen / S. Freud)
Übersicht mit KI
The phrase "For the living organism, protecting itself from stimuli is an almost more important function than the reception of stimuli" is attributed to Sigmund Freud, not Wilhelm Reich or other figures who also wrote on stimuli, but as quoted in some secondary sources, notably concerning Walter Benjamin's work. While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact phrase without a direct reference to Freud's writings, it reflects a core concept in his understanding of psychic and biological self-preservation.
Explanation of Freud's Concept:
Protection vs. Reception:
Freud suggested that an organism's primary defense mechanism is to shield itself from an overwhelming influx of external stimuli.
Survival:
This protective function is crucial for survival, allowing the organism to process and integrate stimuli in manageable amounts rather than being destroyed by their intensity.
Examples:
This concept can be seen in the development of a protective psychic barrier, similar to how a physical membrane protects a cell from its external environment.
Why the "need for..." is not specified:
The original statement ends with "...than the need for," indicating that the full quote would elaborate on the relative importance of reception. While this part of the quote isn't provided, it's clear that Freud's point is the fundamental importance of self-preservation before the ability to absorb and respond to external information.
