...Large Glass is, as its title suggests, an elaborate sexual metaphor seeded with puns and techno-images. In the lower panel the nine sad little bachelors, mere tin soldiers in the game of sexual strategy, signal their desire through intervening bits of machinery to the floating "bride" above. As Freud said in The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900: "The imposing mechanism of the male sexual apparatus lends itself to symbolization by every sort of indescribably complicated machinery...
...psychologist they sent him to "was a really cool guy," Gates recalls. "He gave me books to read after each session, Freud stuff, and I really got into psychology theory." After a year of sessions and a battery of tests, the counselor reached his conclusion. "You're going to lose," he told Mary. "You had better just adjust to it because there's no use trying to beat him."

Further, it is misleading to ascribe the label neurotic to everyone who might be carrying this newly discovered short gene. So-called normal people can also be anxious and worried. GAIL S.

...promotes the creation of more such molecules. After giving personality tests to 505 individuals (who responded to such statements as "Frightening thoughts sometimes come into my head") and taking their blood for genetic analysis, the researchers found a significant correlation between the presence of the short gene and what Freud liked to call neurosis. They also found that about 70% of their subjects had the short gene...
