Thank you for your thoughts ! It is the case that addiction is treated as a pathology, one that can never be cured. I see addiction as a sequence of behaviour due to motivation and so I am extremely interested in the perspective you share. My experience is that addictive self can be both productive and destructive, depending on the lesson one is meant to receive from their choices. I wonder if perhaps you can explain more about how the bodybuilder and the terrorist are similar ? For me, my pursuit of my dislocated self leads me to connect with the globalised postmodern society in a way that is intended to join and support in pursuit of higher truths.
