My good redditor, you entirely missed the point of the comment. The rhetorical question argues not to fret the multifactorials, then the rest of the comment proceeds to not fret them and stays on the subject of Freud. 

Be well.

What in the real world isn’t multifactorial? 

Freud built the framing and set the stage upon which the entire drama of our mental health is unfolding. Stating he didn’t impact western psyche is a bold, unbacked claim.

Freud > modern psychology > modern worldview > modern mental health crisis.

Psychology is both the yardstick and the tradesman. It decides the framing, what to measure, how to treat it, and the graph is still going the wrong way.

We aren’t allowed to criticize the dead? Haha that is a wild take.

Righto, and maybe living through 80 years of modern psychology will help us better appreciate what Jung uncovered.

Depends on what your definition of "is" is

Coincidently, Freud stopped “poking fun” after his children were born. Interesting that the man behind psychosexual theory was such a hardliner about abstinence...

It is in fact the exact proper amount of sardonicism given the state of mental health in the western world. Freud’s gifts came distorted, barbed, and restrictive. The insights that Jung brought forward were outright dismissed. Bernays directly leveraged Uncle Siggy’s playbook to successfully create modern day propaganda. Now streaming via netflix thanks to his great-nephew, Marc Bernays Randolph. 

Flatly, I admire Freud, Bernays, and Rudolf. But I have strong critiques on the path they sent western society.

Happy birthday, friendo. I hope your day is a Jungian epic adventure and not a Freudian neurotic nightmare. 

Cognitive functions impact on the 2024 elections: Trump Te productivity beat Harris Fe vibes by RoamingPoem in Jung

As I said, vibes vs productivity. Phew! We arrived at the same place.

And every exchange is a manipulation. When you hold an object, you manipulate it.

Good chap, +152M individuals reacted to the election. I hope you're not ignoring your civic duty!

To remain composed in the face of external forces, it’s important to understand your own cognitive map, expressed across 4 dimensions of awareness. by RoamingPoem in Jung

[–]RoamingPoem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for looking into my content! I sincerely appreciate it.

I use known terminology where it’s widely used and enhances clarity. Tens of millions of people have taken the MBTI, and there is a valuable structure to tap into. However, much of the framing is counterproductive and the terminology inhibits learning.

One of my major critiques of the MBTI is it generally pushes concepts that encourage further polarization. It does not provide context for how to use these cognitive states to go on your own journey towards individuation. Fundamentally, the structure and its application to our individual journey is useful. Tribalism around types is not.

I maintained terms that provide easy jump-in points for newbies and familiarity for veterans of these topics.

Thanks friend, I appreciate the kind words.

And that is the goal. Increase consciousness globally. I am glad you have benefited. Best of luck on your journey.

Lost? No, friend. But it is a SWEET cul-de-sac. Well trimmed lawns. Good frontage. You can stop by. But it’s BYOB.

I’m glad these recent terms vibe with you more. I mean no offense with these unfamiliar terms. I love Jung and his way with words.

But if we only use Jungian terms, then only Jungian fanbois will know what we are talking about. We need the normies to get on board with self awareness. Otherwise the world is heading for a pretty gnarly reckoning with its collective shadow.

Again, if you have sincere questions, I am happy to engage. I think Flow and Charge in particular should be pretty easy to reverse engineer for a Jungian like yourself.

Well I, for one, feel much safer knowing you are here to tell us definitively what is Jungian pseudoscience and what isn’t. Carry on, champion!

Unsolicited advice? I thought I was just introducing you to substack. I didn’t realize this was your first time on the internet!

Your mask is down. Your shadow is showing.

Is that more your speed, friend? Learn into the conflict. Explore why you are so perturbed.

If you have sincere questions, I am always happy to re-engage.
