"The sense of an experience of the sacred is dissociated from life, from nature, from the world, and transferred or projected somewhere else — an #imagined somewhere else — while man, mere man, is accursed." - #Joycean #JosephCampbell

@punishmenthurts @autistics "without knowledge of neurotypes, Joe makes the same mistake or lie all moderns do is that he thinks "

You REALLY seem anti-individual, always grouping people instead of treating 8.3 billion people as #individuals

#JosephCampbell :
"There are something like 18 billion cells in the brain alone. There are no two brains alike; there are no two hands alike; there are no two human beings alike. You can take your instructions and your guidance from others, but you must find your own path." - Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation

I don't have an exact date he made this specific claim of 18 billion, but before his death in year 1987. While Campbell used the figure of 18 billion cells to emphasize complexity, modern neuroscience has updated this fact: the human brain actually contains closer to 86 billion neurons

"most societies are extremely dogmatic and fierce in their integration of the individual. The individual is born as a separate entity. He is carved up, so to say, and made to fit into a pattern that the society requires. It doesn't require a total man; it requires a part man — not an individual, but a #dividuum : someone who has been divided up and put into a notch." - Joseph Campbell. March 1, 1967 #FWakeDividuum
