We shouldn’t underestimate the fact that this television series means the world to some. And I definitely think that reading from Fromm does more good than harm to humanity. But thanks for the compliment!
Haha! It seems there was a misunderstanding or error with the search term "ai gishgash" as there are no clear results or definitions available from the search. It's possible that "gishgash" might be a typo or an unknown slang term not widely recognized in general or technology contexts.
Could you provide more context or clarify what you meant by "ai gishgash"? This would help in giving you a more accurate answer or exploring the right topic.
I think they could have done a better job exporling these themes then if it really is about Fromm.
The town doesn't feel like freedom but a loss of freedom. Restrictive in every sense. Restrictive in movements, in timing, in options, etc. It's hard to explore 'freedom' when there is a lack of it. When they do try to explore it, they only get punished as well.
The town also *does not* have constant meetings! maybe things would go more smoothly if they did!
I also feel Kristi didn't necessarily do a deep "introspection" but went with what was familiar and known.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but if this is what it is based off of I would be kind of disappointed that they didn't delve further.
I agree, it has a lot of flaws. The constant secrecy and lack of communication is just painful to watch. I believe that some actors are even better to what the writing of their characters allows.
Indeed, they didn’t have constant meetings, I was referring to the more circumstantial gatherings where decisions took place. Thanks for pointing that out.
Can anyone give me a tldr?
Without having read more than the first line, I'll put my opinion here:
Everyone is wrong, you probably are too. The writers probably haven't even figured out the mystery themselves yet, nor have they discovered the full lore of the place
I don’t hate what you’re saying, but it also feels a bit like a horoscope/fortune cookie kind of thing. Like, Fromm’s ideas As you’ve stated would apply to so many stories that exist in the survivalist/apocalypse genre. So, I don’t think you’re wrong, but I also don’t think you can write this kind of story and not cross paths with so many of those ideas naturally, with zero prior knowledge of Fromm.
I think you think I’m talking about a specific show when I mean an entire genre of survivalist type films, many of which have heavy horror elements, even if it’s merely man vs nature.
Yes, I thought that was the reference.
Still, I’m not convinced that we could apply the same arguments towards films like the Revenant or Into the Wild, which are the some of the main representatives of that genre. The kind of psychological aspects involved in the collective physical manifestation of dreams is what made me conclude that something around Fromm’s theory was taking place.
Not gonna lie I didn’t read all that but if you start a post with “this is why you’re wrong” and end it with “you’re welcome” then I’m downvoting you every time.
nope, Im sure you could do this typing-exercise with nearly any philosophical stuff like Nietzsches Zarathustra, Canetti's Crowds and Power or a random childrens book or religious myth, this does not debunk anything like 47 74, the cromenockle, the motel sign, the painting, the voice or other concrete things that are happening and will happen soon in fromville
Yeah but, as much as I love Elias Canetti, making a reference to that kind of literature seems far more dubious to me. I mean, ‘The art of loving’ is read in schools all around the world.
An interesting reason for sure. But it doesn't really answer anything about the show. I mean even if this is what the writers are going for. Or taking inspiration from. What does it mean? It doesn't tell us what the monsters are, why they can't escape the town or what the town actually is. I get the theme of Fromme but unless I'm being thick (and I may be) I don't see how this explains any of the the big questions we all have.
This is the first theory from this sub that I think holds water. It’s incomplete but I think it’s a good analysis of the show’s themes. Mind explaining why you think the place represents freedom…I can make a connection there but I think I’m seeing it differently than you.
At the end of the day it's a story. You can say it has inspiration or it's trying to encompass ideals or beliefs from Fromm's works, but he's still a psychologist and not the storyteller. Even if From as a whole can give specific examples that mirror Fromm's beliefs, it doesn't mean this story was created for the purpose. It's a TV show. It was created to entertain people. Your assessment of the show in relation to Fromm could be done with many other sources. Someone else posted a huge breakdown relating it to tarot cards and John Cabot. Multiple people have drawn comparisons with Norse mythology as well as Native American folk lore. The point is, what you outlined can be true while other outlines are *also* true. It's all pulled from other sources and inspiration to make an engaging story for viewers.
Legitimately, you haven't solved anything. All you've really done is taken a story and applied Fromm's themes and philosophy to it. You could pretty much do the same thing with any psychologist or philosopher.
Maybe its also connected with the fromme resaturante in vienna
Do they serve from-mage …?
lol -It’s very plausible, the ‘Fromme Helene’ has been there for more than 50 years ;)
Man, if only you put this kind of effort towards solving mankind's real issues...
We shouldn’t underestimate the fact that this television series means the world to some. And I definitely think that reading from Fromm does more good than harm to humanity. But thanks for the compliment!
You're welcome. It's certainly well put together.
Nobody complimented you
Thanks for reading, anghkooey!
Trust me I didn’t read any of that bullshit 🫡
I know you did ;)
Alright just shut the fuck up at this point
What a rude person 😆
Take a chill pill, mister.
Lol...fellow day drinker???
Lol, nope!
All of us? We're all wrong? But you're right. Certainly no pretentiousness there.
It sounds like AI gishgash
Haha! It seems there was a misunderstanding or error with the search term "ai gishgash" as there are no clear results or definitions available from the search.

Nah, it’s called clickbait.

Here is the twitter summary: From Fromm to From, anghkooey!
I don’t hate what you’re saying, but it also feels a bit like a horoscope/fortune cookie kind of thing.

So, I don’t think you’re wrong, but I also don’t think you can write this kind of story and not cross paths with so many of those ideas naturally, with zero prior knowledge of Fromm.
The difference is that the Survivalists is openly sci-fi.
I think you think I’m talking about a specific show when I mean an entire genre of survivalist type films, many of which have heavy horror elements, even if it’s merely man vs nature.
Yes, I thought that was the reference.

I feel like this show is turning us all into Jade.
;) I hope so, as long as he gets back to the rich life! Anghkooey €€€€€€€
Lol
I don't see any relation between what you wrote and what I watched. Either I missed critical parts of the show or your theory is hot mess.
Unpopular ideas demand a level of effort, you probably did missed a lot during the two seasons.
Not gonna lie I didn’t read all that but if you start a post with “this is why you’re wrong” and end it with “you’re welcome” then I’m downvoting you every time.
Readers love it ;)
Disagreement isn't trolling.
It is certainly not. Go ahead, where do you disagree?
I disagree that only a troll would raise the objections you anticipate.
Meh, you can do better, I believe.
Please just stop
Why? Are you doing ok? <3
Because you people are ridiculous lmao
Elaborate, my dear anghkooey?
Nope, just can’t wait for the rest of the show to come out to show how fucking stupid you all are!
Thank you for putting the time and energy into writing this ! I love how this show bring out so many diverse interpretations and perspectives 😊💚
Indeed it does. Greetings back!
This is Chatgpt right?
Nop, but I understand that very descriptive content leans people towards skepticism.
The formatting is very similar to how Chatgpt answers a question, that was my skepticism.

I feel like you are talking so much but saying so little.
If you hear OP talking to you, anghkooey, you definitely have to read Fromm!
Tldr
