[@nunisthathigh4825]

@@Sorarixicaric the ego is the opposite of the poltergeist, it's the fear, doubt and disbelief that binds you away from your potential, especially rebellion. It's the id (the shadow) that's the poltergeist, the inner rebel, the subconscious outlaw that wants to do what it feels like. This is why Carl Jung emphasized the importance of incorporating the shadow with other forms of the psyche (46 and 2) the separation of all negative components of the various forms of the psyche and heightening of the positive forms of the psyche. For even the id has positive elements in it's psyche, the id can be conducive to creativity.

[@Sorarixicaric]

Erm I disagree as ego dictates most if not all of what you do as it becomes the sing)e thingnsome 0eople love by as they become so abyssed/consumed by. It doesn't stop you. It just makes you live a certain way that's different from everyone's else. It's why i believe you are wrong it's because it's hard to confine it in such a way hence I feel you missguaged and got it wrong. Ego makes you feel x is right. Not because x is wrong or misguided. It doesn't worry about that it's yet way or the high way. Facts he damned otherwise it's just be logical thinking not egoetical thinking.

This not by accident either. How else do you turn slave states and butchers of indigenous people into supposed land of free and equal people despite that demonstrably not being the case? How else do you get patriotism, nationalism, xenophobia, etc, without lies and myths as history. Why is it so important that people be kept from their history to wealth and power? It's quite often written as narratives and characters because it's extremely beneficial for us to consume it that way to the victors who wrote it.

Freud's greatest patient was himself. So many times we can pick through his writings to find what was slightly off about him, in what he sought to find slightly off about others.

Mans was a coke fiend and it's obvious from everything about his grandiose proclamations about his own peculiar fixations being universal beliefs to his expressions of emotional intimacy.

[@Unlikely_Pirate]

He may be a punchline now (resulting in some hilarious jokes that I find extremely funny) but I don’t think people understand the impact of his work. Whether his theories were ‘right’ is really beside the point. It’s that he sparked a whole revolution of how we think about people.

[@keenoled]

[@keenoled]

Name one science which has not become better in a hundred years.

[@FirestormX9]

@@keenoled The problem with his 'revolution' was that it wasn't a revolution at all. Philosophy had already been doing what Freud did over a thousand years later, he basically... 'emulated' the same work but with more patriarchy. He didn't spark any revolution, he made what was lacking in veritable information, more misguided. Thats what he did.

[@Zephaerie1]

Eh. He didn’t move the needle forward. In fact I think his views on female trauma (especially developmental sexuality of female adolescents and blaming the daughter if she’s assaulted by the father because she is the seducer) are **extremely harmful** and have significantly contributed to the difficulties women face when dealing with sexual assault.

Shredding Freud only shows one's ignorance towards his work. Reading study cases like the Wolf Man, small diary notes about hiking with fellow artists who annoyingly try to ignore his bringing up the fleetingness of beauty, or his initial theories on grief, he contributed solely so much that can be regarded as a scientific basis for modern philosophy. This man deserves the same respect like Nietzsche, Kant or even Aristotle.

He would sit around and think of theories and then find evidence that supported them. But that is like the picture in the textbook entry of confirmation bias. And unsurprisingly none of his biggest theories have stood up to scientific testing. He influenced a lot of really amazing actual scientists who developed actual theories, and he popularized psychology so it could develop into a huge well known and respected field like it is today, so I have to respect his influence actually being important.

[@Kirkunik1]

As a person who spent 35 years in psychoanalysis with a Harvard trained analyst, I can attest that there is much truth to Freud's theories of the ego, the Id and the super ego. As well as the Oedipus Complex. If one wants to truly understand what motivates them....it's a deep journey that will open your eyes to your personal reality. If you have the courage to look at it. People with profound neurosis and borderline psychosis can be helped. But it takes a highly skilled Dr. Those are few and far between...and expensive. Today it's more about Behavior modification, drugs, and scraping the surface of the issues. But to truly discover yourself...it's a deep dive via Freud. Sex is obviously a major component to the human psyche. Mother and father figure relationships crucial....and projection a significant problem across the board no matter the culture. Human beings ...without self actualization....have created a path of human devastation throughout history.. However....absence of God...is the factor he missed. A moral authority is vital. There is more than the physical that determines us. There is the spiritual as well. Otherwise, we are but a machine.

[@jaredpearson1583]

Though god does not necessarily have to be the moral authority...More research should be done on using psychedelics to dissolve the ego enabling deeper introspection. I know it is being researched in canada and oregon to treat depression, anxiety, and ptsd.

We are but star dust. Only....we are self aware. Conscious. If we can develop consciousness and the concept of a moral personally involved creator...that notion, that awareness did not happen in a vacuum . We were made in His image. God is written on our hearts. We were created. There is a purpose. We stand looking out into a great void...an expanse of space and time. We behold the elements. We are but an ant mound in a field.
