The human psyche employs countless ways to mitigate the sting of loss, regret and humiliation.
In Lexington's '' Multiplexed '' [ June 24th ] we learn that Hollywood is creating films where anything is possible and everything can be undone. Freud sums it up nicely.
In '' Civilisation and Its Discontents '', he wrote :
'' Life as we find it, is too hard for us; it brings us too many pains, disappointments and impossible tasks.
He lists three palliative measures to make life bearable, '' powerful deflections, which cause us to make light of our misery ; substitute satisfactions, which diminish it ; and intoxicating substances, which makes us insensitive to it. ''
With a stiff drink in hand, watching. '' Spider Verse '' or any of the multiverses now available to us has the benefit of checking all three-boxes.
