>>19594782
yeah because the game is rigged and there's no point in trying so you might as well be a fucking puer aeternus. a man without a woman is not a man, anyway

>>19594780

woah, bit surreal seeing this with its own thread as i am currently reading this--at page 115 at the moment.
there have been a few
>omg he's literally me!
moments. specifically the idea of intellectualizing suicide as a "oh darn, things didn't go my way. guess i can die now."
tied into that, and the reason i bought it, is her idea of the provisional life. that somewhere beneath my woefully unproductive and mediocre existence lies some greater self that will propel me to a meaningful life--that fantasy has always been music.
also liked the sheep drawing metaphor. never read the little prince before, but she does a good job catching you up and offering analysis.

describes one of the most important sociological problems in current times. jung was a charlatan though

>jung was a charlatan though
why do you say that

[Anonymous No.19596534]

>>19596524
subconscious (or they'd rather say unconscious) is the lowest level of consciousness, not the most important by any means. by lowest we should understand the closest to our animal nature. the problem with jung et al is mistaking the subconscious for the intellect (animus). they give prevalence to the lowest part of the mind as if it was the highest

he also had some demonic dreams involving messianic claims.

[Anonymous No.19596548]

i despise jung and jungians but luckily truth is not exclusive to anyone. and that's the case for this book

[Anonymous No.19596679]

She was writing about herself btw

Worth a read. The analysis of the second book just drags on and on though.

[Anonymous No.19597480]

Pretty good read. Shed some light on my problems, or at least forced me to acknowledge them. For the record, I will say that normalfags will not understand it.

[Anonymous No.19597534]

>>19597480
normalfags would rather wait for a plagiarizing youtube video essay, but they'd still eat this shit up. they recoil at the mere utterance of "psychoanalysis," but this would qualify as a personality type--fair game.
they coom over prescribing themselves a distilled and easily communicable label. just gloss over the regressive aspects of it in lieu of
>tap into your inner child!
>reclaim your innocence!
manchildren and infp trannies will go nuts over the validation of their sloth and unwarranted superiority complexes.

I think you need a new word for “ normalfags”
Actual normies would understand it, they just wouldn’t be a puer aeternus
