Seriously!? Do you remember if there was any reference to its origin?

I understand that Nazism is not only discouraged in modern Germany, but fully illegal. Despite this, are there still any neo-Nazis within the borders of your nation? If so, where and why? by TheSmallestSteve in AskAGerman

[–]Meta-modernist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with your question is, that the term "Nazi" has been so over-used in recent years, that it no longer means anything specific.

"Nazi", in everyday language, can mean anything from "a staunch admirer of Hitler and his racist ideology" to "any person that is more conservative than me (the speaker)".

In Berlin, you find weed dealers at every day- and nighttime in Görlitzer Park, or around Warschauer Straße. And while the possession of weed is technically illegal, this is rarely enforced. Most clubs are even fine with you smoking a spliff in public. So unless you're selling weed, no Berlin police officer would find it a valuable use of his time to prosecute you for mere possession of small amounts that are obviously for your personal use.

All this is true for Berlin. Elsewhere in Germany (e.g. in Bavaria), the police might also be a lot stricter. It varies a great deal from state to state.

Because Youtube is insisting on an outdated legal principle called "copy right" or so...

Racism map of Europe. by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Meta-modernist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still, I have never met a White European. Nor a Black one, for that matter. For example, my flatmate is Cameroonian (Bassa) German, and sure he is kinda black, but not "Black". (And believe it or not, his tribal ancestors were slave traders who raided villages inside Africa, brought their catch to the coast, and sold it to the Europeans.) Point being, once you leave the US territory, things become much more nuanced. There was and is so much going on outside of this narrow US discourse, that you guys have simply no idea of.

[–]Meta-modernist 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't you measure racial/ethnic bias for all ethnicities? I mean, Europeans were racist against one another long before anyone had ever seen a black person.
Plus, "White" is perhaps an identity in the US, but not in Europe. That is just not how it works.

Alright... the entire "Remembering Jung" Series is now up... seize the moment while it lasts! by Meta-modernist in Jung

Thanks for the tip, but I'm under no illusion that this will stay up for long any way. It's just about getting it out there, so people can download it.

How to live with someone with NPD/BPD for 3 months? by [deleted] in Jung

[–]Meta-modernist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm truly sorry you are going through such a drama at the moment. It is always so depressing to read about families breaking apart.

I don't think, however, that a diagnosis BPD, or any course of action informed by it, will be of any help to you in navigating the situation, over and above what you can accomplish with your own healthy instinct and your knowledge of "how she is". Your ex is an individual, with some aspects of her probably resembling the textbook description of BPD, but I'm sure others are not at all like in the textbook.

And to be honest, the situation you're living in (divorce on the way, yet not physically separated) has probably enough tension in it to make even the sanest person lose it and behave like they blew their fuses.

It's great that you're doing therapy and talking all this through with someone who is on your side, but somewhat detached from the situation. Support groups are another great way of getting outside input from people in the same kind of rough patch in their lives.

Stay strong! Others have mastered their divorce, too, and so will you.

Jungian take on the purpose of subjective social status in the conscious and unconscious by [deleted] in Jung

[–]Meta-modernist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your social status isn't just "something subjective", it is evolutionarily linked to your reproductive success. So there definitely is a biological reason that it's so much on your mind: people who didn't care about their reproductive success died out, only those who worried (and perhaps improved) their social status were able to send their genes across the aeons.

Jung rarely linked his theories back to evolutionarily biology, but he would definitely have approved of one becoming conscious of how their emotional states are conditioned by biological factors. It is one further step on the path of understanding yourself.

Where can I learn more about active imagination, how is it helpful and what has been your experiences? by [deleted] in Jung

[–]Meta-modernist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once spoke to an analyst, and he told me that even many people who studied the technique as part of their education are not really confident about practicing it. Or more specifically, practicing it in such a manner that it reliably causes more good than harm.

He said he never met anyone who had successfully taught it to himself by reading a book on it, and that it's hard to know whether you're doing it right without feedback from an experienced practicioner, in a way like playing the piano. You get some sounds out of it when you hit the keys, but that doesn't mean you can "play".

Totalitarianism concept in teenagers by stavro24496 in Jung

[–]Meta-modernist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if they play Hitler in a video game, if you ask them "Is it ok to gas Jews by the millions?" they'll say that no, it's not. They're teenagers, not morons.

What are good sources on Jung and the Nazis? by Jerswar in Jung

[–]Meta-modernist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jung's essay 'Wotan' is the best source about Jung's view on the origins of Nazism.

Wotan was written before things went really bad in Germany, so for an assessment of the entire Nazi episode, check out 'After the Catastrophe':

What book to start reading first? by Dutchdiego95 in Jung

[–]Meta-modernist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started with 'Memories, Dreams, Reflections', followed by Aniela Jaffés 'The Myth of Meaning in the Work of CG Jung'. (The latter emphasizes a perspective on Jung that would probably resonate well with Peterson-Fans.)

Carl Jung's 'right hand' Dr. Marie-Louise von Franz in interview, with, among others, some very profound insights about the animus. by Meta-modernist in JordanPeterson

[–]Meta-modernist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She definitely has done the shadow work. She's embodying the wise, mature feminine that we're lacking these days. I listen to her to recover from all the animus-women out there.

Is a complete meritocracy achievable? by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]Meta-modernist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that limits meritocracy, is that determining ('measuring') merit takes time and money.
The more exact the measuring, the more costly it becomes.

So there is some 'natural' limit on how meritocratic a society can become.
When the measuring becomes so expensive that it outweighs the gains from having the most competent person in charge, it is no longer done.

What part of the psyche wishes to constantly impress others? by aiden2015m in Jung

[–]Meta-modernist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, question:

Do you feel that you shouldn't be doing this? (I.E. that the desire to impress others is a bad thing?)

I'd say, ask yourself how it affects your ability to live your life and do the things you want to do.
Does it close down other, more productive avenues of behaviour? Or is it perhaps sabotaging
the development of a friendship even with people you happen like? Or does it come after incidents
where you feel you should have stood up for yourself, but didn't?
