listen me, your image and how you present yourself is completely connected to how you will be perceived and how far your message will travel.
the same goes for any occupy moron banging a cowbell or wearing a Freud mask.
See what I did there? I almost corrected your punctuation but I figured the poor sentence structure would help underscore the "reactionary diatribe without thinking through it".
I'm frustrated by these efforts to tear down others that try to affect change and then turn around and claim to agree with those they have just assailed. If you think it can be done better than show us. Help spread the word in what you clearly understand to be a better way.
So here's my point: How about we stick to discussion of the issues rather than shooting the messenger eh?


clever too. my...what gifts.

'The Century of the Self' is a great documentary series on this topic and is on youtube.

"This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy."

Freud's nephew, responsible for the coining of the term, "Public Relations," and the modern lifestyle-marketing that's become a way of life among consumer culture.

When I first saw this I read the title as, "Bill Murray Gave These Guys a Wank."
I was expecting a completely different video.

Freud here, just letting you know your subconscious is seriously fucked.


No surprise there.

We still teach people about Freud, even teachers that don't like him, simply because he was a part of history that advanced the field so far forward. So you can't have a good understanding of modern psychology without at least understanding why Freud was relevant. But in the same way that Dr. Benjamin Rush advanced the field so far forward by suggesting that beating patients might not be the first step in treatment, Freud needs only to be understood as relevant, not understood. But you can't understand why he's relevant until you at least learn a little bit about his method.

Anything over twenty years old in any field should be considered a history lesson at best. Even Darwin didn't have the understanding of evolution that we have now. He just introduced the concept, a huge advancement yes, but it has little to do with the way it actually works.

meh, fuck freud. if you want to know how the mind really works, freud is the last person you should turn to.

I used the article on Id, Ego, and Super-Ego to illustrate how the examples you gave of fears, worries, and desires are how the mind works. You don't have to "agree" with Freud to learn about his research and teachings.

@critical_d and @berticus I'd love to hear you two discuss id,ego,super ego.
The wiki page painted a compelling 'devil and angel on your shoulder' kind of narrative. I must admit it was appealing.
Is Freud completely outdated?

@dystopianfuturetoday i had to work some serious voodoo to get this, i hope you enjoy it:

Yes. I wanted to find you a copy of The Unknown Freud, but this will do for now: http://www.salon.com/1995/12/02/freud/

God the arguments I've seen against Gay Marriage lately have been astounding. One guy was trying to make the case that Sigmund Freud said it wasn't normal therefore it shouldn't be considered normal. That was just one there were...sooo many people throwing out random so called "facts" and trying to argue that this should be looked at in a scientific way and that we shouldn't change things for 3.5% of the population...I don't know where they get that number I don't think they do either.

There check out the FIRST Comment at that link. It's mindboggling that these people fucking exist and have gone through college learning only how to pretend like they have a good argument and valid points. This sort of delusion is gonna totally fuck America up.

Frankie Boyle presents: Freud in a nutshell.


Assuming he has a bit of cocaine in his trouser pocket you're probably bang on. I find the Oedipus complex kind of disturbing to think about actually, but it's an interesting perspective.
