"Morphed into something completely different"...All right.....now we (as in you and I) are getting somewhere! Oh...well, I thought so, until you turned around again and said "But the truth is people think they proved Lessans wrong." Again...for the (broken?) record: I am not in the least bit concerned with proving Lessans wrong or right (you'll notice that I do not contribute to anything about particular aspects of his argument - this is because I haven't read his work and cannot speak to it). But I
will say that if you are typical of Lessans' followers, I am far, far less inclined to read his work in the future. And that remark is directed at
you, peacegirl -
not Lessans. Try and understand the difference I'm making here.

LOL...and yet, to quote another reader...."here you are." Freud said it best in
Beyond the Pleasure Principle: compulsive repetition really is a primordial force that unworks our drive to achieve a zero-level of stimulation....
