h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Your stated need for a carrot is part of your socialized outer shell that you show to the rest of the world. "Normal" "well adjusted" people like carrotsand to fit in you do too. This however is merely a shell and not your true feeling at all. Under this is your Secondary Drive. Because your natural urges and energies in regard to carrrots have been blocked or suppressed, they have found other less savory means of expression out of desperation and have had to be suppressed by the aforementioned outward persona. Your secondary desire is to take that carrot and stick it in a suitably tight orifice of the last guy who pissed you off. Of course you can't do that so you repress it and the tension/desire/whatever festers underneath your "perfectly well adjusted" facade not going anywhere. Should the outer personality crack, serious trouble could be had by the next person who pisses you off when you have a carrot. Of course(thankfully) the secondary drive is also a construct on the True Personality. Maybe you really do love carrots maybe you loathe the little orange buggers, but whatever your true feelings, you follow them and fulfill your desires for the root vegetable any way you want to.

Why am I reminded of this song?

"Cheesy, cheesy
(This is a song about vegetables, they keep you regular they're real good for ya.)

Call any vegetable
(Call any vegetable)
Call it by name
(Call any vegetable)
Call one today
(Call any vegetable)
When you get off the train
(Call any vegetable)
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Oh the vegetable will respond to you
(Some people don't go for prunes... I don't know, I've always found that if they...)

Call any vegetable
(Call any vegetable)
Pick up your phone
(Call any vegetable)
Think of a vegetable
(Call any vegetable)
Lonely at home
(Call any vegetable)
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
That a vegetable will respond to you

Rutabaga, Rutabaga,
Rutabaga, Rutabaga,
Rutabay-y-y-y...
(A prune isn't really a vegetable...
Cabbage is a vegetable...)

No one will know
If you don't want to let them know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell them so
Call and they'll come to you
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream of responding to you
Standing there shiny and a-proud by your side
Holding your hand while the neighbours decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?"


Call Any Vegetable - Frank Zappa

I don't know exactly to respond to those couple of posts in sequence like that

I just wanted to put forward a fairly basic idea of the theories, nothing more. Partly because I didn't want to go on forever, and partly because at this point in time I only have a very general idea of all the facets of psychology and was just very fascinated in the general theories.

I've never heard that song, I'll look for it. There's a band named "Rice", and all of their songs are about...well, rice. In an intelligent way, you see, they use rice as a metaphor for certain things like society and such, but yes. I think maybe they'll run out of ideas soon and recreate themselves as "Oat", or maybe "Wheat". Should be interesting.
