On 11 May Charles Harris explained how I came to write Rosenberg instead of Rosenzweig:
> Your unconscious motivation is laughably obvious even to > someone without any psychoanalytic training: Your unconscious > hoped to bolster the status of this "supporter of psychoanalysis, > Saul Rosenberg" (and thereby his worthiness of serious attention > by Freud and by us), implying that he was a "mountain" rather > than a mere "twig". It's a no-brainer. Many thanks, Charles, for having twigged the explanation. Like most of these things, it's obvious once it is pointed out, and who can gainsay it? It only remains to appreciate that by focusing on Dr Joad my unconscious was diverting my attention away from the fact that there was a psychodynamic explanation for the slip. It is evident that TIPSters are reticent (an unjustified fear of ridicule?) about pointing to the equally obvious explanation for my citing Dr Joad on TIPS on the very day that a letter appeared in The Independent from a representative of the Joad Society citing a speech by the said philosopher: synchronicity. It only remains to explain the cosmic significance of this extraordinary coincidence to convince the many sceptics out there.
