Minsky again gives ode to Freud. Social and intellectual failures are argued to have similar consequences; intellectual failure produces a fear about one's state of mind. (NB: This reminds me of the old social perception literature where stooges would call a short line long, and as a result so would a subject, who then had to be seriously debriefed because of concerns about their visual faculties.)
