Opinions/Editorials Title: Poster RLK: His Legacy: 'The Analytic Papers Series', Article 12: "I Can't Get No Satisfaction'' The repeated unsuccessful attempts to find satisfaction through devouring life, not only orally, but in general, can develop to a level called Oral Rage. The condition is like much like Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones used to complain of in his songs: “I can’t get no satisfaction.” The concept of oral rage may be a little imprecise for suitable understanding at advanced levels, but it is occasionally useful and interesting. - snip - Paradoxically, many of the most socially and economically successful people are the most bitter and tormented. Many of them express their bitterness in a diffuse attack upon the American social and economic system to the point of virtually making war on every aspect of American society. The resentment and antagonistic liberalism of many successful actors, musicians, entertainment personalities and other public figures is well known. In contrast to the general population, an incredible 87-89 percent of the news media voted for George McGovern in 1972 as a deliberate slap in this country’s face. Nearly 25 years later, another 87 percent to 89 percent of the same professional group voted for Bill Clinton. These were highly paid and highly visible people who ostensibly have everything in the world, but have a bitterness toward this country. Successive generations of wealthy families often degenerate into bitter chaos. Many people who supposedly have everything are the most diffusely frustrated and angry. - snip - I don’t think at any time in the history of mankind have so many people had so much, but been so unhappy and bitter–not only at life in general, but at the very systems that have provided them with their abundance. For analytical purposes, the phenomenon can be dissected into five facets. 1.) Fashion. 2.) Attention-seeking, theatrical or otherwise. They are eternally on stage with intellectual contortions and jabs. Those who can do it effectively can make careers and money at it. Some of them combine this with subtle sadism and an eternal anger at the adult world. 3.) The intrinsic effects of hedonism. One can only eat so much and still have appetite for food. One can only drink so much at a time and still feel satisfaction from the taste of water or wine. One can drive but so many automobiles at a time. One can occupy only so many rooms in a house of unlimited size at a time. One can only go to so many night clubs, then they all become the same. One can only engage in sex with a limited number of people at a time....After going so high, ordinary real life has little to offer by comparison. Pure continuous fun loses its fun. Americans, and affluent populations in other areas of the world, have become the most passively over-entertained, over-amused, over-stimulated, over-fed, over-noveltied, over-musiced, over-danced, over-sexualized, over-indulged people in history. They can’t get enough of any of it because they’ve already had too much of all of it, and they are being exhorted to get more. 4.) The unsupported brilliancy factor. 5.) The attainment of superficial and hollow goals. A number of people are pursuing success and pursuing glamour. They want more. When they get it, their money is no good because they can’t have any more and they can’t buy any more. No more is possible. They’ve reached the limits. They are pleasure-satiated. They don’t know what to do with themselves. They are dissatisfied and angry and disillusioned and resentful.... ...There is the mistaken belief that fame, money, and success are going to miraculously transform one’s life. It doesn’t happen. No matter how rich or beautiful or famous you become, you still become old and die like everybody else... And so it is with a proportion of successful public personalities, writers, actors, directors, comedians, newspeople, and so forth who express a diffuse disillusionment, resentment, bitterness and antagonism. Their disillusionment should be with themselves, but they attribute it and direct it externally toward the social and economic structure. Many of them don’t know how to live. Many of them have a monkey on their back. This explains the apparent paradox of many of the rich and glamorous hating America. They hate the country because of over-satiation, because they are bored, because they are disappointed in their wealth and success. They are bored and angry because they don’t know how to live. We are now entering into a new national, and perhaps international, crisis. To the extent that economic and social systems work, they produce certain classes of people who become bored with their lives and disgusted with everything that made their boredom and disillusionment possible. The Analytic Papers Series is a compilation of essays written by Robert L. Kocher. Robert L. Kocher is the author of “The American Mind in Denial,” as well as many other articles. He is an engineer working in the area of solid-state physics, and has done graduate study in clinical psychology. His email address is steiner@access.mountain.net. Robert L. Kocher’s work is rather prolific, and although we are determined to present a complete set of his works, at this time we have only a portion of them.

Poster Comment: This is a spectacular analysis and essay. It especially sheds light on the reasons as to why Dem-Left-Hollywood drama queens and theater on the Left seem so angry ALL the time, *always* advancing and promoting hatred of America, the Constitution, freedom, conservatives/Republicans, and so forth. (from RLK's/Robert's blog): Many of us had enjoyed his comments and savvy observations and biting commentary of an American society that been dissolving and degrading for the last five decades. In 'Article 12' of his fascinating 'Analytic Papers Series' (check it out when you get the chance), Robert explained and dissected in great detail exactly how and why the wealthy -- many of the "Elites" of the greatest, free-est, nation on earth -- are perpetually bitter, dis-satified and unsatisfied with their lavish material lives, ironically unable to find a thrill or meaning anywhere. Written in 2011 it is especially relevant given the political/cultural landscape during these dark days. With searing specificity and example in this chapter, Robert tracked the roots of America's class of the wealthy elites, explaining exactly why they are seemingly not ever satisfied or especially happy with their lives. He's noted they are forever whining and kvetching over every single mundane second of life. ( similar people with the same mind-set "report" these complaints through a MSM that openly share and spread its virulent negativity and hatred 24/7.) Moreover, Robert/RLK notes that despite being blessed with far more riches, wealth, means, and popularity than any human being has ever had in man's history, they are perpetually a bunch of bitter whiners steeped in misery, boredom, and a lack of perspective and appreciation for the simple and mundane pleasures in life.
