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

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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

Father?

Yes, son?

I want to kill you.

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
