I used to be a fan of freud in college, cause that's what you like in college. And then i was like, really hard cors like, you know, this is bulshet. How to even tolerate his ideas now? Like, why don't we just tear him out of the text books, because none of what he says? Now i'm just like, well, look, if, if, what if he was claiming that he had irrefutable evidence of some empirical point, which he borders on that arrogance sometimes. But he's not. He'sn' a lad with with a lab coat on, with test tube, not at all. Ri.
David and Tamler dive into Sigmund Freud’s world of unconscious drives, death instincts, and thwarted incestuous urges in his classic text “Civilization and its Discontents.” If society has made so much progress, why are human beings perpetually dissatisfied? Can religion help us or is it a big part of the problem? What’s really going on when you piss on a fire to put it out? Also: how seriously should we take Freud today given some of his wackier ideas? And is he a psychologist, a philosopher, or something else entirely?
