[@johnmiller7453]

A lot of people disregard Freud because of the few things he got wrong. The reason for this I believe is they are uncomfortable with all the things he got right about humanity. It's hard to hear the truth sometimes but if you really do want to improve yourself then the truth must have it's day. Most people don't really want to improve themselves as history has shown. Freud was a truly brilliant man and gave humanity a great gift.

the only realistic people are depressed, study after study shows it. I don't want to be realistic because being depressed is awful

[@maxdclxvi]

@@therabbithat I could dare to admit that the realist, and the depressed, then have way less to do with the atrocities spreading across the society and the world as they are more likely to just harm to themselves, in all the possible means of (re)search, introspection, ways of perception and the labour to obtain the truth. It is of immense value, however if such explorers share their ideas through the means of speech, writing etc. I don't want to sound an absolutist nor relativist ass or judgmental freak, but the absence of a realistic outlook, a lack of grasp in the unending appetite for truth is more on the side of the ignorance which is also one of the qualities I occasionally despise about myself. The tendency to propose to things dialectically is what I could be striving towards, but I still think I'm quite far away from the method of 'pure' reason.

And do not permit idiosyncratic society to pressure you into its modus operandi: rather undergo a personal transformation by the recalibration of your super ego thereby demonstrating in no uncertain terms the benevolent, life-affirming and consummate will of our Maker" (Romans 12:1, 2, Sigmund Freud Bible Translation).

[@mayankbhardwaj5104]

Sigmund Freud begins Civilization and Its Discontents, by describing his inability to understand what he calls “religious feeling.” Freud is not religious himself, though he has good friends who are. Freud believes that religion is central to how societies function - even societies that no longer consist of orthodox believers. Freud attempts, in his essay, to understand how people relate to their societies, how societies are formed, and how individual psychic forces interact with larger, group-level forces. -15BME0101

[@cfwintner1]

Freud was Jewish growing up in Vienna, the most anti-Semitic city on earth, then and now. He was also an MD, trying to convince the scientific community of the worth of psychoanalysis. I think his theories correspond to Kabbalah. Photos of him show Sabbath candles and a menorah.

[@padarousou]

I wouldn't say it's a belief but a fact. Religion justifies a moral framework from an objective standpoint. Without them, our morals have no objective basis and our societies decay

[@jayvigdior6844]

"Cruelty and intolerance to those who don't belong to it are natural to every religion." --Sigmund Freud

[@HoovyTube]

1:37:15 This is such a perfect display of how sexual relations complicate and diminish in frequency in a society gradually transitioning to a hyper-complex service-economy.

[@rizzamaeong]

here once again. Freud gave us gold. ❤️ i'm truly grateful for what a human mind can come up with.

[@2Hot2]

It’s bizarre, because on the one hand Freud seems extremely close to the analytical schools of yoga and Buddhism, e.g., jnana yoga: he rises above the ego, id and superego and describes the absurd warring forces as something no rational being would possibly want to identify with, but instead of advocating detachment/witnessing/transcendence of the mind and body like yoga, he sees the identification with the tormented and tormenting mind as inevitable. I can understand that he isn’t attracted by the trance states of samadhi/nirvana, but he himself has achieved such great objectivity and distancing that he should at least consider analytical detachment/witnessing as a possibility of liberation. I guess detachment wasn’t his forte because even after he caught throat cancer he had a hole cut in his throat so he could keep smoking cigars instead of kicking the habit

[@2Hot2]

@@jakubmarko1285 In the introduction, Freud speaks of a friend who's really into yoga but F. says he can't relate to the "oceanic feeling" that allows some yogis to transcend the ego/atman or whatever you want to call it & and be one with the universe. It's all a question of having an objective perspective, where pure consciousness (which is what you should identify with) can watch all the noise and sensations going on your head as a sort of absurd TV program without getting caught up in it (detachment). Anyway, maybe you'd enjoy these books I've been reading recently: Karl Popper's "Open Society" (2nd video of the youtube audiobook + my comment there) about Hegel (the arch-phony propagandist) vs. Schopenhauer, the real philosopher), the short book "No Self, No Problem" (buddhism from a neurological perspective) and "The Schopenhauer Cure" by Irvin Yalom about psychoanalysis and Schopenahauer/Nietzsche

Freud talked about this book in his Diary - Christmas 1929 - Freud wound up DEAD in 1939 in Viena - next to Germany - the Id, Ego and Super Ego was all about CHOSEN ONES based on MONEY - he never wrote about Hitler - Freud was experimenting on human beings AS IF they evolved from monkey's - he was an Atheist - his GOD was MONEY and that MONEY made other people his slaves, because the lack of money is a form of slavery. THE CHOSEN ONES - always evolve around MONEY -and that MONEY is their GOD, their POWER over other men or animals as he said - the Id, Ego and Super Ego. - Freud was using COKE and he used drugs on human beings AS IF they were ANIMALS.

[@Qscrisp]

It's interesting what he considers to be universal knowledge. I don't think it would be considered such today. I feel like in many ways we've lost the panoramic view of the human story.

[@dirtycasual3094]

The de-education of the population coupled with ease of access to otherwise required resources imo has caused a sort of socio-psychological disconnect. Facebook, Instagram, twitter; these things when used incorrectly boost the individual ego to a height in which one truly believes they are superior to the other. Creating a barrier if you will keeping what would be "shared" or "common" knowledge from being absorbed or identified. These communications are still being sent but not received. Which again imo is part of the reason ppl are so angry with eachother.

[@jindiggs]

@@dirtycasual3094 I disagree there, I think social media neither adds nor reduces the amount of education. Resources however, do help the individuals obtain more knowledge and get exposed. Freud started the book by saying how the people are using false standards of measurement to what they deem of true value, and how the greatest people haven't been recognized enough by their contemporaries. It's the same thing. People hate on Freud, hate on such considerations of the past and have opposite ones today. It's the same cycle. But I shall say that Freud is usually hated on by religious people who don't admit it.

[@padarousou]

​@@dirtycasual3094I agree that social media has great potential for good but often is grossly misused to bolster individual status. That's why I haven't been on it for over 8 years, watching the decline of humanity on those platforms is painful to watch

Great read!

[@sudhirpatel7620]

The higher man feels the eternal reoccurrence of all things as everything else. For all is fundamentally one and the same. Atoms. The higher man born through great sufferings constantly experiences the awesome and meaninglessness of inescapable nature that recycles life to be lived and suffered eternally. Forever to suffer from suicidal nihilism which is overcome through accepting the eternal hell of reality as an unpleasant fact. A Godless man who suffers through hell and is glad he did becomes nature-conscious. He is the highest in creation. He is god. The master of his 'soul'. Amoral. Solitary. Always waiting for nothing.

[@sudhirpatel7620]

Oceanic feelings. The abyss of human depths and heights that expresses strong 'good' and 'evil' natures that are locked beneath the weak moral values of the coward herd mentality that accommodates those in society who gain power through weakness created through peace, the right to talk, moralize and will without the right of gods and not Gods. But you will not without hell as your teacher understand this.
