"I teach freud anyway, because the ideas of freud are so ingrained in our culture that i want them to know about it." "A lot of what he says is like actual food for out. Like some of the stuff he says here is just basically true about the betrayed off in the frustration of being the human condition" 'Freud's a good example of a theory that doesn't have empirical evidence' - Dr Andrew Keen.
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?
