What do you make of Freud and his theories?
From what I understand, Freud is completely correct about human psychology, and the only reason he is ridiculed for his theory on child sexuality towards their opposite sex parent, is because people are too cowardly to actually dive into their own psychology. Nobody wants to see themselves for what they are, which is an animal, and therefore they try to cope and pretend that Freud was wrong, and that they are these perfect beings who are exactly what they think of themselves.

You see, the you unclench your body and ease up on yourself, and dont shame yourself for whatever you might feel, it becomes apparent that what Freud is describing is the psychology of the fully conscious human. The white man is the most unconscious human of all, so it is incredibly hard for him to ever reach this true state of himself, because he does not want to feel these deeply repressed feelings.

Basically, Freud did it first, and Freud did it best.

i dont understand why the oedipal complex was even such a big deal. even if it was true, even if young boys were attracted to their mothers - does it really matter? i dont understand how that is somehow responsible for all of his psychological growth and problems.

Sexuality towards family does not mean that you necessarily want to fuck a family member. It means that the family shapes your developing sexuality as a child, and that sex is an integral part of your development.
Freud gets misunderstood because we are interpretting him form a perverted and rotten American society.
Freud was not a pervert, which is why he is able to talk so logically and freely about this subject of sexuality, because sexuality is not perverted at its core. In fact sexuality is actually very wholesome.

A huge number of Freud's (largely Jewish) patients reported being sexually abused as children. He invented his child sexuality theory to account for this; he said they were making it up as a fantasy.

Because it undermines many assumptions about human nature, and who many of us are at our core.
The sexuality is very important because it shows us that human beings are not what the British enlightenment thinkers thought we were, and that the whole bulk of humanity truly does not understand itself.
Understanding humanity is the key to everything. It is truly the only worthwhile pursuit we should be working towards.

Thats the thing tho, is that Freud is not insane at all. The only vibes that Freud gives off is clarity and truth, since he is coming from a very vulnerable place and putting his own person on the line to say his theories.

It becomes very hard to talk Freud with westerners from the US or Britain. because they want to scientifically pick apart every little detail of his theories without actually getting to the heart/ reality of what he is saying.

Freud's studies lack objectivity and falsifiability. They are not scientific. That is the primary reason why many, in my opinion correctly, discard Freud's theories. That's not to say that they're not fascinating to read into, nor is it to say that they don't raise questions about oneself. However, if one believes that Psychology is a science, as I do, then one must take Freud's studies with an immense grain of salt as they simply do not follow the scientific method in any way. Also, there is evidence to suggest, as other anons have stated, that Freud did cover up the sexual abuse of his female patients as it made him uneasy; that being said, I believe that this has been highly distorted by feminist scholars of Freud.

You cannot prove the mind with science. You prove the mind by analyzing what the mind thinks and does, and then you try to tie it all together with a theory, as Freud has done.
Freud represents a failing of Science as a whole, showing that you cannot explain the mystical mind of a human being with science.
We are not machines, we are human beings, and therefore you cannot prove anything real with science.
In fact, the more you try to cling to science, the more and more miserable you will be when you find that science cannot answer any of the most important questions regarding our human species.

There is no one answer fits all. It depends on the person and what their life situation is.
However, I would be able to read you like a book if I talked to you for a couple minutes person to person.

But generally, it is that you are deeply unconscious and neurotic due to a shitty life upbringing, and that you likely have a lot of mental trauma you are carrying, and that you are not a fully incorporated human being, as you have repressed many crucial and fundamental parts of being a human being.

The heart of Freud, is that we are all miserable and neurotic due to a fundamental misunderstanding of our human nature, and what it is that we are.
Freud was never able to tie together all of his theory into a thesis, but I would say that the conclusion of Freud is that we should all feel good all the time, and feeling bad all the time is a unique feature of modern society and civilization.
Freud would probably say that we can also fix all the issues in the world through an understanding of ourselves, since having that empathetic understanding of ourselves would be an end to all conflict and unhappiness.

You will never get anywhere with that scientific approach. You have to understand that the body is a wholistic thing. Everything in the body is one thing, and there is no way to understand the body by thinking that you can understand the mind without also understanding the body.

Frued was actually quite conservative. He did not believe sexuality should be liberated but that repressing it was healthy and good for the individual. He would probably say that a preoccupation of sexuality is itself unhealthy

The true radical was Reich who believed in completely freeing our sexuality and desires and that this was the only way we could obtain happiness. Reich believed that preventing the complete pleasure, release and surrender of sex was what caused neurosis.

>According to Freud, this was a childhood fantasy based on the memory of sucking his mother's nipple. He backed up his claim with the fact that Egyptian hieroglyphs represent the mother as a vulture, because the Egyptians believed that there are no male vultures and that the females of the species are impregnated by the wind.

>However, Freud's premise was based on an erroneous translation of the bird as a vulture, leading him in the direction of Egyptian mythology, when it was actually a kite in Leonardo's story. This disappointed Freud because, as he confessed to Lou Andreas-Salomé in a letter of 9 February 1919, he regarded the Leonardo essay as "the only beautiful thing I have ever written".

Just had a course seminar where my classmates were to analyze a homosexual man with a dominant mother and submissive father. I asked (in opposition) if that dynamic might be influencing the man in becoming homosexual, since they mentioned the Oedipal complex, yet nothing about his homosexuality. They were stunned.

That's the point. If you ask neuroscientists or cognitive psychologists about dreams, for example, they'll typically respond by saying that they have a role in memory, etc. The actual content of the dream, though, is completely outside the scope of scientific inquiry, because no satisfying materialist explanation exists yet for consciousness. But they certainly mean something, and so does the recurrence of the same symbols in the nightly dreams of millions of different people across thousands of years of human history. People have understood since the dawn of time that the arts, literary theory, etc. are valuable tools for understanding the human condition and, despite what scientism tells you, they still are.

As a general rule, if your theories are boring and dont make you laugh a little bit, then you are not at the full truth yet.

>but I would say that the conclusion of Freud is that we should all feel good all the time, and feeling bad all the time is a unique feature of modern society and civilization.

Freud: "The aim of psychoanalysis is to relieve people of their neurotic unhappiness so that they can be normally unhappy."

>Freud would probably say that we can also fix all the issues in the world through an understanding of ourselves, since having that empathetic understanding of ourselves would be an end to all conflict and unhappiness.

Freud: "The programme of becoming happy, which the pleasure principle imposes on us, cannot be fulfilled; yet we must not — indeed, we cannot — give up our efforts to bring it nearer to fulfilment by some means or other".

Wow, Freud discovered low-level esoteric knowledge known for thousands of years prior??!! It is highly significant that he was jewish and molested by his freaky, weak jewish father, along with his siblings. All the later generations will have been molested as well. So of course his work only "sheds light" on the lowest stratas of human consciousness, since he and those who associate with him would necessarily be cut-off from the higher stratas; he is of course wrong in presuming that his one-sided studies represent the totality of the mind. So for this reason, you are ironically correct when pointing out that whites are generally more unable to naturally access these lower mechanisms discovered by Freud, given that these sorts of things are only normally wide open to mentally ill people or the inferior darker races, who's consciousness is more or less limited to these lower stratas in the first place.

Also, if you think there is some sort of spirituality to be found in Freud, you are an absolute fool. However if you are trans, you've already fallen to your lower nature, so if you lack all strength I suppose you could just go all the way down into the depths.

If hes right hes right, it does not matter how he came to his theory.
If Freud is wrong, then why has noone else created a comprehensive theory on humanity?
If Freud really is such a midwit, then why hasnt somebody been able to provide an alternative theory for psychosexual development?

And I mean a real theory, and not some boring dusty old man book that nobody has ever heard of or cares about.

>Obviously we have unconcious processes, we study them today using cognitive psych.

Cognitive psych observes and measures inputs and outputs and then tries to piece together why we observed X instead of Y. You can apply this methodology to a computer program or a toaster, neither of which are presumed to be conscious. Nothing about it proves the existence of the mind or of conscious experience.

The mind is neither observable or measurable, which is why behaviorists like B.F. Skinner believed it to be outside the scope of scientific inquiry. To this day, there is still no compelling material explanation for the existence of consciousness. We just accept a priori, like you're doing here, that it exists. We can learn a lot from cognitive psychology, but the best available tools for plumbing the depths of human conscious experience are still philosophy, the arts, and stuff like psychoanalytic theory. Freud said that of everywhere he had gone in the human mind, poets had been there first.

To be honest it sounds like you took an undergraduate research methods class and decided scientism is the end all be all. It's not.

Freud threads bring out the worst filth of this board, I wonder why such a strong reaction exists. If you dont like a thinker just avoid him, why you have to be some emotionally invested and feel the need to write up some schizo tier rant about someone who is supposedly so insignificant and or wrong. Maybe its because he enrages a variety of groups - npc anglos for not fitting into their standarts of science, poltards for being a jew, tradcucks for being an atheist and talking about sex, feminists because of the ideas of penis envy and fantasy about trauma etc. But still its perplexing, but on the other hand, if a thinker makes so many people seethe THIS hard, he is based in my book.

The only reason I say the white man is the most unconcious, is because the white man has the brain that created all of this unconcious civilization around us. Its not exclusive to white men, but frankly, whites are the most unconcious and asleep of all the races.
Jews are a little bit more concious than whites due to their acceptance of sexuality, but are overall still pretty asleep.
Blacks are the most awake of the races, but that is mostly because they dont have the iq level to exist in a state of unconcious thought.
The white mans greatest strength is his brain, but that presents his greatest weakness, for the bigger the brain is, the more easy it becomes to form a personality living in your head in this state of deep unconcious thought.
The white man has to learn that he is not his brain, and only then will he come to the light.
Every race has their own problems they need to work on, and whites need to work on their weaknesses as a race aswell.

No man.
Jews have a culture of sexual openness, as well as general openness to the full range of humanity. They dont shun you from being in their community because of who you are, and therefore Jews are much more complete people than puritanical Americans, and they are not ashamed of whatever emotions and feelings drive them.
Freud is describing everyone, its just that the white westerner is puritanical in their essense, which makes getting anywhere with them near impossible from a psychological perspective because they are nothing but walls and boundaries.
The white American is the most repressed animal in the world, which is exactly why they are so easy to lead like a dog on a chain by their Jewish masters, because they are so unaware of who they are that they are basically a slave to those who do know who they are. The Jew understands you Americans better than you understand yourselves.

Read John Money. Read any of psychological literature about human sexuality. It may surprise you to learn that it plays a large role in our lives. Of course you will not do this because you are destined for a career in McDonald's HR like most psychology undergraduates.

It's funny how zoomers portray Freud as the progenitor of the hookup culture in which they can't get laid, whereas boomer midwits think Freud's vision of sexuality was repressive and responsible for pathologizing homsexual sex acts etc. It's almost as though nobody has actually read what he has written.

He was spot on about the fact early childhood experiences shape people, that’s been confirmed again and again.

His claims about early sexuality are shaky at best. Just as one can claim that the subconscious wants to fuck your mother, I could accuse everyone of being a subconscious furryfag. And if you deny wanting to fuck Sonic, well, you’re simply in denial.

Subconscious sexual desires are irrefutable speculation and ultimately pointless.
