Work Needs Oats.

About sex Doctor Freud at the conclusion of Interpretation of Dreams, the fifth lecture, sez:

Without a certain ration of oats, no work could be expected from any animal.

That’s as much levity as I’ve ever seen from the guy.

Continuing:

The components of the sexual instinct, in particular, have a capacity for sublimation into ones more socially valuable. The mental energy won in such a way has probably had the highest cultural consequences.

Oy! Nice one dude!
