When James Joyce took his schizophrenic daughter to Carl Jung, Jung said>You are both in the same water, but you are swimming and she is drowning.
>>23535983She couldn't come to terms with the fart fetish? Or with being a retarded faggot?
>>23535983Damn, Jung was a drama queen
It's almost a meme at this point, but it is interesting to consider that certain types of genius bear an uncanny resemblence to mental illness.
>>23535983That's pretty cool, where'd you read that?
Jung was a faggot.
Wow that's deep bro. I hope Joyce didn't pay him for that lol

>>23538968That may be true, but it doessn't change my earlier accusation about his sexuality.
>>23535983>heard this anecdote for the first time yesterday by way of a lecture recording from the 1980s>come to /lit/ today for the first time in months>this thread is heresynchronicity really got me feeling like a schizo today>>23536004>>23537220Jung was right, at least in this instance, Joyce's daughter went totally insane.Though Joyce himself demonstrates the way that schizophrenia is a knife edge on which brilliance can walk, both Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake demonstrate that.>>23538968Jung dickriders are such insufferable faggots, go back to your subreddit. Jung doesn't need you to suck his cock the way that teenagers defend popstars.
>>23539128Was this on creativity and genius lecture cause I had the same synchronicity

>>23535983Based quote.
>>23535983This was pretty insightful of Jung. It's often found that relatives of those with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders show benign manifestations of the same tendencies and are usually much more creative and associative than the general population. In fact, if you look up famous artists or poets you frequently find that they had a sibling or parent with schizophrenia.
