Oedipus Complex

There’s a reason him and Jung’s findings are ignored in favor of actual scientific discoveries.

Jung's findings have been debunked?
- https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Carl_Jung
  To be more specific, Jung's psychology has been characterized as "unscientific" on the following grounds:
  that some Jungian concepts, such as archetypes and synchronicity, cannot be proven by the scientific method
  that Jung subscribed to a nineteenth-century notion of evolution that has since been discredited
  that Jung's valuation of the mental functions of feeling and intuition on the same level as thinking weakens the attitude of rational objectivity that is essential in scientific research
  that Jung's interest in occult traditions, including the pre-scientific European past (third-century Gnosticism and medieval alchemy) and contemporary Asian cultures (Taoism and Tibetan Buddhism) amounts to a glorification of mysticism and irrationality
  that Jung's clinical specialization in the treatment of schizophrenia and his own brush with psychosis made him an untrustworthy guide to "ordinary" reality

- How do you debunk a bunch of woo?

Have you seen Freud's mom? You'd start cranking out justifications too.

Freud bullying someone in school: HEY THERE FATTY FACE, YOU'RE BIG AND FAT!!

Bullied kid: ....... your mom

Freud then spends his life trying to come up with a clever come back

Motherfucker

The lefternmost girl looks like she is kinda into it.

Unpopular opinion: I kinda like Freud. Sure, a lot of his ideas were debunked over the years, but he was one of the first people in the field to take women's mental health seariously. He also thought of homosexuality as something that isn't a choice and can't be changed, unlike a lot if his peers.

Freud had bad ideas, sure. But he was literally one of the first people in history to academically propose that maybe there was something going on with the way people think and the choices they made that they weren't aware of (the subconscious).

Fun Freud Fact: He didn't actually start from the ideas of Oedipal Complexes and Penis Envy.

That came about because many of his clients were the children of the wealthy, and quite a few of them were reporting sexual abuse, but he couldn't tell all the rich pricks to stop raping their children in the middle of trying to found psychology as a field of study.

This is based on a very sketchy theory itself.
- Sure it is, that's why no professional who has read his notes disagrees with the overall analysis that he covered up the extent of sexual abuse in his patients to save his career.
- Psych studies are a cardhouse from top to bottom.

Girl on the right's diggin it though.

Girl on the left in the back too

I only just noticed there's dudes in this picture

Ok Siggy, maybe take it easy on the blow?

I remember taking psych 101 or some equivalent and there was an entire 50 minute lecture about Freud. At the end I raised my hand and was like, "This... This is all considered bullshit now, right?" I can't remember what exactly the answer was, but I do remember that it wasn't an unequivocal yes. And that scared me.

sadly, not all practitioners practice evidence-based psychotherapy. some practice non-directive conversion about joe rogan topics.

Dude’s thinkin w his dick, okay. Freud was raised by his nanny and had very little contact with his bio-mom. Reasonable to assume it was so little that he experienced her as a stranger, & thought she was hot.

Extremely unreasonable to consider any mammal would have sexual urges that would result in immediate severe inbreeding. Some past-centuries gooner got all hot, great, but don’t make me take his porn seriously

- Not even just cats lmao this guy is just straight up wrong.
  Mammals don't give a single fuck about familial relationships. Dogs, cats, bears, deer. Once they reach sexual maturity they will fuck whatever they can. If mom goes into breeding mode and there's no other males to stop them they will fuck their mom without a second thought.

Father?

Yes, son?

I want to kill you.

Mother?

I WANT TO....

I love how accurate their faces would be in that situation. The blonde guy in the back having an existential crisis, the girl on the far left low-key excited about this idea.

Still better than when he talks about the eels

I don't even want to know.
