In an exclusive interview with LN+, psychoanalyst and writer Gabriel Rolón discussed the core of human nature. Rolón offered a stark perspective on universal themes like love and death, arguing that these experiences are deeply influenced by societal expectations. He posits that, at a fundamental level, human decisions aren’t expressions of free will but rather the fulfillment of unconscious directives. This perspective challenges conventional notions of choice and agency, suggesting a more deterministic view of human behavior. Rolón’s analysis explores how deeply ingrained social norms shape individual motivations and actions, even in seemingly personal matters. The interview provides insight into his theories regarding the unconscious mind and its pervasive influence on everyday life in Argentina.
