>There is nothing wrong with psychoanalysis or finding out about your past as long as you don't confuse knowing about yourself with knowing yourself. The five thousand page dossier is about yourself: the content of your mind which is conditioned by the past. Whatever you learn through psychoanalysis or self observation is about you. It is not you. It is content, not essence. Going beyond ego is stepping out of content. Knowing yourself is being yourself, and being yourself is ceasing to identify with content.

Yes, Brentano and Husserl had both proved him wrong on his concept of the unconscious before he had even graduated, and yet he never took the hint.

His psyop techniques for controlling the cattle have worked magnificently, even more so with the tech boom of social media.

yes, but he's still one of history's most influential men. there are many such cases

>>16906146
nah he was mostly right--just a little too jewish and neurotic so his pupil had to correct a few things.

>>16906189

He was full of shit but at least got others to think about stuff no one was giving a fuck about.

>>16906377

nope he was right about everything, especially clinical technique, the unconscious, and the connection between fire and piss.

Freud took Brentano's classes at the same time as Husserl and a couple others (I think Meinong, but I'm really not sure on that one). Freud already had a concept of the unconscious worked out, but Brentano and Husserl (semi)famously shot him down by showing that Freud was still using the same concept of representation as they were, but that this concept is completely incapable of explaining the causal efficiency of a representation that is *not* being represented at the moment. Essentially, Freud is still indebted to Cartesian transparency but doesn't realizes it.

Yep, read literally anything he wrote. Couldn't reason for shit. Ok at describing other people's works though.

>>16906146
Worse, he was a Jew.

Holy cow!!
That’s interesting, because advancing Freuds argument to get out of this position would necessarily justify Jungs synchronistic dito (if i understand things correctly).

As a gift back to you for this hitherto unknown fact i’d recommend looking on Google books for Freud and bnai b’rith, and freuds kabbalistic sources (which has now been confirmed he did not want to disclose)

>attempts to plagiarze nietzsche and schopenhauer
>misunderstands them in his plagiarism
Yes, I would say he was definitely a hack.

>>16906146
NO! HE WAS ACTUALLY EXTREMELY BASED!

Pretty much, or at least it is hard to see otherwise how he could avoid it.
Obviously the problem of efficient causation is something pretty much every theory containing a certain degree of psychologism must either tangle with or bury, but it is really weird how obvious the issue is in Freud, which essentially renders meaningless anything he has to say regarding superior psychology, and yet how he was still viewed as such a trailblazer.

Imagine what kinda kino shit Benny would write

I am thinking about reading Freud, pls advise on if doing so would be helpful to me. I wish to gain an understanding of the human psyche strong enough for me to write deep characters in my stories. As a result I've been reading up on psychology and spirituality, mostly via textbooks. Would Freud be helpful?

People are still using psychoanalytics and yielding results. Its just that not everything is childhood trauma or man's innate shitty nature.

>>16906377
Deleuze and Guattari

>>16906377
How is Dolce doing these days? I heard Gabana is in great shape.

Drain & Gang

As a scientist, probably. As a critical theorist he is based
