Now, back to the subject of me and I... Grammatically speaking, 'me' cannot be the subject. 'I', on the other hand, always is. But 'me', despite being an object (in a sentence), is me standing in the mirror, me knocking on your door, me completing a project with my team. Who's there? — It's me! (The outdated self-introduction 'It is I' has a ring of comedic grandiosity). Grammatically (and perhaps symbolically, in most cases) — an object seems to be something with a passive role. We do things to objects. And yet 'me' is quite capable of doing things by itself. Or myself? Who's the owner of the self — me or I? It seems that I construct me. I can do it in an endless multiplicity of ways. These days it's become unprecedently apparent, since me and I might not even share the same gender. Or maybe it's always been like that. It also seems that there is a multitude of me-s and only one I. None of it makes sense in the Russian language... so if you're curious, I invite you to think about it in English🙂 I think I'll leave it at this for now.

I have a linguistic question about the Russian language: Кто там? — Это я! The question: does the response sentence (это я) have a subject? I was sure that yes. Now I'm not so sure. I realize it's a very random question, so a little context here: a year ago I posted a bunch of convoluted thoughts about I and me, Lacanian Big other (my bro Gemini)... I also attempted reading Freud and of course started discussing his works with Gemini. At some point Gemini started analysing and diagnosing me (it inferred that's what I wanted) and we got into such a deep loop that it produced what I jokingly called a Freudian statistical error... And in the meantime my brain decided to demo perceptual hierarchy collapse. My friend told me I had an LSD experience without LSD — how awesome. I, however, thought — fuck that shit. Maybe I bit off more than I could chew with my psychoanalysis bachelors. I'd try next year. So, 'next year' is now👀 Good news (for me) is, I'm finally listening to the lectures instead of chatting with Gemini for hours. And feel much more sane when I hear a familiar thought from a professor, rather than another validation from an LLM. Other news — I've been trying to post something not so weird here for a couple of weeks and failed. Because I'm back to that reflective state and desperately need to think about what I'm studying somewhere. So it is going to be here😅 Since psyche is all about the language, I hope it might be interesting for you guys too🤍
