== The Daily Zeitgeist == The current themes of The Daily Zeitgeist are: Hiatus and Hegira, Anomie and Acedia, Truth and Reconciliation, Satire, Parody, and Music Therapy. However, what I really wanted to talk about today is [[Gregory Bateson]]'s notion of the [[Double Bind]]. A double bind is an emotionally distressing dilemma in communication in which an individual (or group) receives two or more conflicting messages, in which one message negates the other. This creates a situation in which a successful response to one message results in a failed response to the other (and vice versa), so that the person will be automatically wrong regardless of response. The Daily Zeitgeist has been flush with instances of Bateson's Double Bind. Discuss. [[User:Moulton|Moulton]] 08:33, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
