Freud, Jung, Luke Skywalker, and the Psychology of Myth: Crash Course World Mythology #40

Hey, CC guys. The audio mix is messed up in the credits: I can barely hear Mike talking. Just so you know.

[@Jiero94]

Its their editor whoever they are.

[@KingsleyIII]

The loudness of the audio fluctuates a lot throughout the video.

[@unknownpawner1994]

Also at the thought bubble portion, Mike's voice is almost overriden with the lightsabers and sound effects

[@RottenDoctorGonzo]

The SHADOW also contains "nice" characteristics. For example, the desire to hug your fellow human. It's just that the individual pushed that side down to the shadow, because they learned somehow that it was unacceptable. So the shadow has unpleasant characteristics, but certainly not exclusively so.

[@robert_katona]

If Freud would've seen all the "step-mother" related *pr0n* content we have on the internet today he'd be like: "Well I'll be damned."

[@stedwards311]

Someone please teach the editor how to normalize audio. Mike is quiet, and when you turn up the sound to make it listenable, the intro is SUPER LOUD.

[@lazyperfectionist3978]

I don't know about you, but it was fine on my end XD

[@LordMephistoteles]

prolly the chapter was rushed or the post production team had a headache...

[@stedwards311]

Normalizing audio takes all of 120 seconds for a video of this length. I know this because I'm an adobe editor. There shouldn't be a 10db+ difference between narration and title sound. Mike's narration is inexcusably inaudible over the closing title cards.

[@JuliaSpeaksWithWords]

Could’ve just been an accident. I doubt the editor doesn’t know how to do their job. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s possible they even mistakenly uploaded a previous version of the video before they did the final audio edits.

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

Freaked me out. First audio I listened to since last using my computer, though I had just turned my volume down, so I cranked it back up. Then ***INTRO MUSIC!!!!*** . GAH! (I use external speakers that are connected to a few devices that all have different volume levels. Yeah, I need to label that analog volume dial with 'good' marks for each device.)

[@doomstadt2371]

Is there something wrong with the sound? I've only seen 50 comments about it, so i'm not sure...

[@culwin]

WHAT?

[@MaDBoaB2o2o]

pretty sad cc mythology is ending, it's taught me so much about common human concepts that all cultures and races express. It has taught me that all humans have the same dreams, aspirations and fears no matter where and when they are from and that we can all find a commonality. I hope we see Greg sometime soon on this channel

You really need to work on the sound engineering on this one. Half the time I couldn't hear you, and the outro music completely covered your voice to the point that it sounded like distant, unintelligible mumbling.

[@samuelmineiro9416]

Going to miss this channel so much. I’m on an Academic Team, and mythology has always been something I was weaker in, so this series was a godsend. Thanks Mike.

[@arturrheinboldt2207]

That criticism of Carl Jung´s archetypes regarding genderization was really shallow and inaccurate.

[@OMIMmusic]

Yep. Just because women can have male qualities doesn't mean that there are still tendencies of qualities that are generally more male or female. Would've been better not to include this.

[@robbiehoen]

Can't be helped. if he doesn't distance himself a little from those truths about gender, he will lose viewers and/or get into a lot of trouble when people find out he doesn't disagree with them. That, or he is genuinly policing his own thoughts.

[@specialkender]

[@elaineandjohn9599]

True, though you’re not going to get nuanced analysis in a 10 to 15 minute “Crash Course”

[@thomasrivera8626]

Agreed. This guy is a snowflake, he can't take about scientific data.

[@mikeoyler2983]

I think all that is really important to know about Freud and Jung is that psychology like all science had to start somewhere. The initial contribution to psychoanalysis was important for finding out things previously unkown. Now as you say there are many different forms of therapy and over a century of data and trial and error. When you read about how Freud handled some of his patients.... it's like, "yikes!"

[@PavaniGanga]

Thanks! Such a good job delivering a concise introduction to complex ideas in a short period of time! And in a lighthearted manner, too!

[@MarkoftheGhost]

If animus represents male in female and anima male in female, what is anime?

[@SlocketSeven]

A mistake.

[@101Mant]

Mark of the Ghost anime is when you cant tell if it's male or female.

[@SIGSEGV1337]

Anime is the unity between the feminine and masculine

The video feels really quiet! I notice that newer crashcourse videos are always super quiet and it's a tad annoying, I have impaired hearing and need to turn everything up.

[@Chronically_ChiII]

Marlene Get better speakers, or buy a sound augmenting device for your ears. The future is now, old man.

[@nicholasnino529]

The audio is a little down mixed actually.

[@CulturePhilter]

I think the mixing for this episode was particularly off. The music drowned him out during the credits.

[@mattkuhn6634]

Great episode! I’ve really enjoyed CC Mythology this past year, and I’m gonna miss it when it’s over. Mike has done a great job hosting!

[@ThePeaceableKingdom]

It's very difficult to thumbnail Jung's ideas - partly because of the subtlety of the ideas themselves, partly because of the layers of cultural accretion that have adhered to them, but mostly because Jung did his thinking in public over the course of about 70 years and changed his mind on fundamental issues along the way. So any summary of Jung is met with the question "is this the Jung of 1922 or 1939 or 1970 etc." (The same is true of Freud, with less development over time, but even more cultural accretions...) But this channel is "CrashCourse," not "Nuanced Topics in Deepest Depth." I hope it inspires interested folk to look a little deeper into some interesting and influential thinkers.

[@bobyrob9261]

The fact that society needs you to watch what you say about gender so much kinda proves jung.

[@lizc4438]

This goes without saying but I just want to reiterate specifically that the animation y’all do is really good. You guys care about the channel and it shows.

[@peterlervik1640]

Don't forget to make a season 2 covering the gods you didn't talk about, like Thoth and friends. Do not leave us without talking about in-depth Thoth

[@zac8033]

This is my favorite series, I don't want it to be over :(

[@louisuniverse]

there's nothing sexist about jung's idea if you consider that when he's talking about female or male he's actually referencing the archetypal forms of the concepts within the collective unconscious. He's not saying women are moody, when talking about the anima of a man, he's saying that one of the caracteristics of the female archetype is moodiness. that's it. stop acting offended.

[@justinjakimiak1998]

I've noticed a lot more of that sort of thing in this series, and in the sociology series, just more so

[@jaypickard]

Absolutely. To butcher Jung he's essentially saying that male and female individuals have aspects of both archetypes. If you look at the gender as a group such as with big 5 personality or their career choices (women choose far more nursing, primary education etc) then you can see the archetype come into focus. These archetypes have been around for thousands of years, Camile paglia has a great lecture about it.

[@darknessguide3036]

So he got upsetted by the irrational characteristic of the Anima but not when he saw that the masculine animus represented evil. Bravo, gotta love the internal consistency

[@austinnovak2054]

I agree they are mischaracterizing Jung; he was incredibly high in traits openness and introvertedness( last individual based traits and profession one would expect to carry such biases).

[@lhcphysicfreak]

@Iouisaahh, I agree. I was pretty okay with what he said until he mentioned Jung's idea being 'Patriarchal'. Then, I was just...'hmmmmm.' I have no problem of him saying Jung's idea was patriarchal. Being a man of the early twentieth century is quite possible that Jung was patriarchal. But I do have a problem with the way he said it. It's almost like a little side note to tell the audiences that 'hey, I'm not a misogynist. That's just Jung.'. And him giving his opinions about the anima and animus seem inappropriate as well. I get that he has his opinions but like I said, I don't like the way he said it. There's an attempt to signal his position as a feminist in the video. Or maybe that's just me.

[@matheusbraga1354]

Just so you know, Jung's archetypes are not 'a sort of super psychic ether', they're part of the human condition like instincts are. Archetypes are concepts similar to Kant's a priori concepts, and they're both way different from some sort of collective super mind of humanity.

[@Baackus]

The anima helps the guy being a better person also! How to see unfairness anywhere...

[@NewtonTree]

This comment is very inappropriate.

[@SyronJAG]

What am I supposed to do once this series wraps? This is all I've had to look forward to on this channel every week, since the computer science series became impossible to follow. Mythology could give another hundred episodes, and we're getting cut off at 41. Every series I really like dies.

[@abhinavchandekar]

While I get your discomfort with discussing some of Jung's ideas, I would appreciate it if you didn't feel the need to express it at every instant while discussing it. You could have started off by stating your apprehensions or stated them after discussing his ideas. It would just seem more genuine and give the due value to the ideas, in and off themselves. Just a suggestion though.

[@airwavesintheair]

I hope they do a crash course linguistics one day!

[@mjl1966y]

In modern story-telling theory, we have the concept of "mental sex" which correlates to the animus and anima here. We also see a lot of role reversal with the mental sex, so that characters deviate from their gender-assigned mental sex. I only point this out because Leia is dominated by a male mental sex where Luke is dominated by a female mental sex. So, he really has and animus, not an anima. Minor semantic point, but since we're talking about character building and all that, figured I would mention it.

[@Astabroth]

What a complete butchering of both Freudian and Jungian ideas! I suppose the limited time in these videos can't possibly allow for anything other than a cursory glance at the psychoanalysts. However, this video is a complete misrepresentation of what Jung thought of as the archetypal masculine and feminine (presented here in this video as the anima/animus). If anything, Jung would considered the archetypal feminine as the source of all creativity and revered it just as much, if not more, than the archetypal masculine. This reductionistic assigning of seeming negative qualities to the feminine and positive qualities to the masculine is NOT at all what Jung does. Also, since when was 'the self' considered an archetype? It's the conceptualization of a completely integrated personality, not an archetype.

[@CaptainFutureman]

But that in itself would make it an archetype, wouldn't it?

[@Astabroth]

Average Joe Yeah. I think I was distinguishing between the archetypes within personality and the archetypes within myths as distinct when I said this. They're actually the same thing!

Women and men ARE inherently different. Equal, but not the same

[@ultralight9625]

I disagree that they are inherently different, as both men and women are human, and being human leads to a lot of similarity's physically and mentally.

[@grobanlover292]

As someone who is trans, I disagree with a lot of whats said here. Men and women are pretty similar, and theres no clear distinction between traits, outside of what can be accomplished through hormones. Culturally, there are imposed differences, but these are social differences, or constructs, rather than truly defined differences

[@grobanlover292]

Boy its a good thing I grew up and still am christian, otherwise that jumble of flowery word vomit wouldnt make a lick of sense. As much as you like to convince yourself Im mistaken, you really have no idea what its like to not align with your gender. Youve concocted this wonderful sounding fantasy that doesnt even begin to address any actual parts of being trans, and frankly sounds pathetic and ignorant. Your idea of a revival occuring because of people viewing themselves as their own god shows a misunderstanding of what people think nowadays. Your ideas of the mirror are wrong based on science, because all I need to do is be born with a few different genetics, but same chromosomes, and I look and sound different, thanks to hormones. And Ive got sin. But this is no sin. This is loving and accepting myself, and living out my heavenly body as God intended. Its not perfect, but nothing on this world is. Sometimes that happens. thats okay. Your hate and ridiculous statements though, theyre nothing. They are fun to laugh at though.

[@grobanlover292]

1. I am Christian, I have given my life, and whether you believe my words on that or not doesnt change that. 2. I do not believe in science. I accept science as valid. I trust science. Science is not a belief system, but simply a method of stockpiling and organizing information. So, that phrase is rignt, but not how you intended. 3. Nothing about being trans is popular. I felt threatened by my parents, I struggled to find a safe place to work, I had to hide myself often. Nothing about it is popular. Popular assumes want to be it, and will envy people who are it. Hiding yourself from people makes it clear this isnt popular. 4. Raketeering's a new one, ill give you props for creativity. Still rude, as you admit, but clever. 5. You realize that the original Jewish God, Yahweh, was not considered to have a gender, right? And that we are based off of God? And that Genesis is not meant to be taken literally, but figuratively, as a moral poem about consequences of disobeying God, and that the origin stories (Of which, Im sure you know, there are two) contradict when taken literally? 5. Genetics creates a lot of weird things. Theres all sorts of mutations, all sorts of deviations from your 'Norm'. Intersex people exist, people with hormonal or genetic differences and develop differently than a cis person (person with a gender identity that matches their accepted body) would, or are born with malformed genitals, or both genitals... the list goes on. These are things that happen genetically and physically. Nothing is wrong with this happening, yet this stigma against people who deviate from gender roles forces them to be treated as female more often than not. Deformations are not wrong, just as Jesus, who healed and spoke with lepers and the crippled and the blind, and the mentally ill. Where is your love, then?

[@revyqui6946]

EverythingIC Christians were the ones who created this mess of different gender roles. It was their God who didn't know if he was male or female in the beginning. Making others believe that because they like to put make up in the face, then they must be female. If their wasn't such a need to put down woman in Christianity. Men would still be wearing skirts today and feeling comfortable.

Really enjoyed it but felt awkward when you were criticising Jung's genderism. It's not sexist, it seems to be facts. And there's nothing oppressive about men and women having on average different traits.

[@juliettasorensen4574]

When you watch children growing up, their personality differences (timid, assertive, anxious, confident etc.) don't usually follow gender lines. Those come in as society reinforces what men and women are meant to be. There is actually very little supporting the idea that men and women naturally act differently. Jung was hugely influenced by traditional ibrahimic ideas of gender roles (think Christianity, Islam, and Judaism). It becomes sexist and oppressive when you equate women with all things timid and submissive, and men with all things aggressive and dominant, and use this to determine what is normal and acceptable. The criticism was bang on

[@mojo9291]

It's meant to be both deeper and more general than that. There are positive and negative aspects of the anima and animus. Those qualities (in their absolute sense, i.e., "all things") are equated to (putting it better: are aspects of) the anima and animus themselves, not "men" or "women", which are concrete things and not what Jung nor archetypes as such refer to. They are embodied qualities that belong to the collective unconscious and ultimately to whatever that stems from (something like the a priori )facts of evolution). The criticism was too shallow and so is yours.

[@juliettasorensen4574]

@@mojo9291 Well argued 🙂

[@Malemukgmail]

[@thomasrivera8626]

@@juliettasorensen4574 hate to bring it to you, my mayor is in Psychology and we are studying gender roles and in scandinavian countries they did studies about gender. They did their best to let people decide what they want and surprisingly men in mayority were more aggresive than women. Women were more caring. Nothing wrong in that, it's science. I highly suggest you to follow up on this research and check that men chemical composition is different than women and men's hormones act way differently on their emotional state.

[@arielcurra7647]

This was a great episode

[@Hakajin]

So I watched this video right before I watched The End of the F**cking World on Netflix, and wow, it really informed my viewing. I might've picked up on this, anyway, because I'm trained in the art of interpretting Literature, but... I noticed that a certain character kind of resembles James, and the house that person lives in kind of looks like James' home. That had some really interesting implications. Plus, you can totally view Alyssa as his anima. Right in the beginning, she talks about being overwhelmed by emotion a lot of the time, which is the complete opposite of James. The story is about their relationship, but it's also about him coming to terms with emotions he's been avoiding for years. Great series, I highly recommend it!

[@besselieu87]

I have recently started diving into Greek mythology and one of the reasons is because I have read some of Carl Jung's work. I noticed he often referenced mythology and the old testament, but I didn't know much about either subjects. After reading the old testament, I read "The Iliad and I am now reading The Odyssey. I have noticed how mythology is very patriarchal, which definitely makes me want to open-hand slap my forehead at times. But, the stories are entertaining and educational.

[@christianwehner5565]

Its important to understand that Jung's use of masculine and feminine was meant to express the duality that is build into the world when it moves from the unconscious wholeness represented but the Uroboros to the limited nature of the conscious thought. The fact that they are male and female is simply because there is a proclivity toward one of the poles with each of the sexes and women and men by their nature show a side of the duality as they are seen as a duality. This should not suggest that women are damned to the feminine aspects, simply that their positions place then uniquely close to the positive and negative aspects of the feminine or mother: life giving and taking, consuming and terrible but nurturing and feeding. So when Jung says the feminine traits it is wrong to assume it means women necessarily have them simply that they are most symbolized in women

[@shadetv8605]

This is an awesome video! i think however we are missing the point of the anima and animus when we say they can be patriarchal. I touched on this subject on my page. I think that acknowledging the anima and animus in men and women kinda shares responsibility amongst the genders and shows that men can have more femininity and females can have more masculinity then what was previously comprehended. When we learn to work with our inner animus and anima we develop into a more balanced human being. Also the "feminine" and "masculine" attributes are simply related to the pushing and pulling, for lack of a better description, of character. If anyone wants to learn more about it it, definitely check out my anima and animus video.

if one wants a more insightful analysis of the two(if you find their ideas appealing) i suggest Jordan Peterson’s channel. He’s dedicated hundreds of hours to their ideas in his lectures, he’s a more interesting orator( not to say the man above wasn’t interesting but the brand that comes with the channel seems to bog down the controversial ideas that Freud and Jung hypothesized). He delves a little further and is very well read and worth the trip to his channel.

[@austinnovak2054]

Everyone is here from Jordan Peterson apparently.

If you want mystical reactionary self-help instead of a critical look at the validity of said ideas, yeah.

[@austinnovak2054]

C'est Pas Sourcé i would disagree with the assertion that peterson isn’t critical of the ideas that freud(especially) and Jung are associated with.

[@austinnovak2054]

C'est Pas Sourcé Maybe not so much Jung but he himself aligns with Jungs beliefs quite a bit.

[@ThePeaceableKingdom]

Peterson is loved by the alt-right for his support of various racist and sexist ideologies. He uses Jung's ideas as ammunition in the culture wars; he no longer tries to explain them, and certainly has never wrestled with their implications for his own Nazi-ish ideas, nor how they comport with evolutionary biology (which is very well, actually) He's an ideologue and an egotist. Basically, he's lost the plot completely...

If according to Jung, women have an Animus and men have an Anima, do nonbinary people have... an Anime?

dont end this plz.... this is the only thing that keeps me alive.

[@sirPiteye]

Why did you only put comments on negative animus female 'traits' and not the negative 'male" traits?

Stop defending sexism, Frode.

[@attalan8732]

Because he can't help but read sexism into a narrative that doesn't have one.

Its patriarchal to say that women dont personify undeseriable cualities like moodiness and irrationality, but saying that men are aggresive and "take silent obstinate evil ideas" dont make you flinch. Cool.

[@moodist1er]

You messed that up

[@Raiko01]

I hope you enjoyed the trip into the core of the feminist doctrine

y'all should read ruth stein. she touches on the patriarchal elements within modern psychology.

It's worth noting that the only reason Luke faces Vader is because he rejects Yoda and Obi Wan's insistence that he stay to complete his training. Obviously no example is going to be a perfect rendition of Jung (or Campbell), but I think it is interesting nonetheless. Luke might represent more of a transcendence of this trope than an example of it. This doesn't invalidate this video or its use as an example, of course. I merely offer a bit of nuance.

Jung was far more than just a collaborator with Freud. Freud had adopted him as his own son. This is from Jung's own autobiography Memories Dreams Reflections. Highly recommend the book.

[@DrINTJ]

I read that book and there was no such thing. It was actually a battle of minds where Freud wanted to be the wiser older one and wanted Jung to take what he taught without any questioning, leading to a bitter separation when Jung rejected the sexual theory.
