Pioneer psychology
I was reminded of something myself thought about sometimes. Not very profound. If you want something like that, you can read these columns by the psychoanalyst Per-Magnus Johansson in GP. Seems to be a theme he is drawn to.
"Nothing interests me less than Andy Warhol's sexuality" (GP, 2023-09-16)
"It is pointless to psychiatrise Serge Gainsbourg" (GP, 2023-07-14)

Johansson starts the season with this as well "With psychoanalysis from the cradle to the grave".
