"These theoretical discussions between Spielrein and Jung took place in an erotically-charged atmosphere; her narration of their intensely intellectual romance, which she described as a 'savage passion', constantly frames sex in relation to death: 'I do believe I am capable of destroying myself with cyanide in the presence of my idol'". 👀

"Spielrein recorded in her diary in September 1910 that Jung had 'listened...with rapture' to her ideas for a 'new study on the death instinct'" 🙌🏻👌🏼🫰🏻🤌🏻👏🏻👐🏻🙌🏻

So interesting. The death drive is so mad. I think we are very fortunate to have had Winnicott to present an alternative
