Orgone Sounds Like?

If you happen to be in Vienna and in need of… stimulation, you’ll want to visit Jewish Museum of Vienna’s current exhibit on Wilheim Reich, mad scientist of psychoanalysis and inventor of the Orgone Box, for which he served two years in prison. Writes Gideon Lewis-Kraus atNextbook: “It seems not to matter to the show’s curator, Birgit Johler, that one of Reich’s central explanations for Freud’s unresponsiveness to his earth-shattering orgasm theory of 1927 was that Freud’s vestigial obligations to Judaism left him frigid, which is to say unimaginatively monogamous.” After that, the story gets weird.
