¿Por qué nos cuesta tanto crecer? Los males del siglo XXI con Constanza Michelson | Jorge Arecheta

Are we living in an age that thinks too much but feels too little? In this episode of "In Practice," Jorge Arecheta talks with psychoanalyst and writer Constanza Michelson about the malaise in 21st-century culture. We explore why the promises of technological progress have failed to eliminate human fragility and how a lack of meaning has become the malady of our time. We analyze the phenomenon of labels and diagnoses in mental health, the impact of social media on ethical awareness, and the worrying infantilization of contemporary society. A profound conversation to understand why, despite being more connected than ever, we find it so difficult to inhabit our own solitude and responsibility. 00:00 – Introduction: Is the malady of our time thinking too much? 02:08 – Freud and the Zeppelin: Why Every Progress Brings Its Own Accident 04:35 – The Crisis of Meaning and the Emptiness of Diagnostic Labels 06:40 – The End of the Future: From The Jetsons to Climate Dystopia 09:50 – Art, Clinical Practice, and the Toxicity of Politics as Spectacle 12:15 – The Symbolic Order and the Risk of Turning Diagnosis into Identity 16:30 – Generational Conflicts: When Adults Compete with Young People 20:10 – Social Networks and Perversion: The Loss of Ethical Responsibility 24:10 – “Self-Capitalism” and the Politics of Deflation 27:30 – Defining Madness: The Impulse That Knows No Limits 35:10 – The Art of Being Alone: ​​Attachment, Separation, and “Emotional Vampirism” 40:30 – Mimetic Desire: Why Do We Desire What Others Desire?
