What's the point of him? So many deride his theories, but yet he is so famous regardless. Psychotherapy was his domain but what did he contribute?
>>24990797unto the few spoke he
He's famous for introducing the idea of archetypes to humanity
>>24991808well the idea’s ancient; he just systematized it.
>>24991784Is that why youtube is full of selfhelp wowsodeep AI Jungslop now?
>>24991844you can make slop with any type of content with AI now. nice o algo
>>24991924Of course but this is certainly popular with a certain kind of midwit. This is with recommendations off btw
>>24991992You, on the other hand, are popular with nobody.
>>24992139I wasn't even coming after Jung or a Jung well read anymore, but someone clearly caught feelings..
>>24990797There was a phase in my life where I suffered from chronic insomnia. It got so bad, I thought I would become unable to function, and lose my marbles as well as my job.At the time (synchronicity alert) I happened to be reading Jung's Psychological Types, in which he opines that neurotic symptoms are the result of an unbalanced personality. This led me to conclude that I had become too much of a nerd. My job, hobbies and interests were almost all cerebral in nature. I was using my brain so much, I never gave it a chance to switch off.The solution proposed by Jung was to do less of the things I enjoyed and was good at, and instead cultivate interests that stimulated my under-used psychological faculties (the sensory, the emotional, the social etc.)It took a while, but in the end I began to sleep better, and have actually become a good sleeper nowadays. I literally cured my potentially catastrophic neurosis by reading Jung.Oh, and Myers-Briggs tests I guess.
>>24992155what new interests did you take up?
>>24990797Young was extremely lucky that his theories applied to folktales, occultism, and mythology. If he was strictly an psycho-analrapist like Freud he would just be just as relevant, with all his theories completely debunked by actual medicine.
>>24992178freud also used & abused mythology for his theories. and was very relevant until recently.
He's retarded but tbt he cooked sigmund fraud
>>24992167Art (visual) was a big help. That was like a cattleprod for the emotions. I began to see the worth of art therapy.It's funny, I'd always thought I was a hardcore music buff, until I realised I had only been playing music in the background lately, and had been leaning towards emotionless, abstract electronica. I forced myself to sit down and give music my full attention, and found I was enjoying it more than I had in years.Then I started going for long walks, just to look at things and let my mind idle for a while. This did a good job of engaging my senses.The social side of things has always been my weak point, but I did at least go to bars and have fleeting interactions. I was also banging a sweet hooker at the time, which helped ...
>>24992213The difference here is that Freud has a theory and then uses one specific myth to try to give it more relevance. On the other hand, Jung has a theory and all myths simply work with it without the need of Jung's explanation.

>>24992178>If he was strictly an psycho-analrapist like Freud he would just be just as relevant, with all his theories completely debunked by actual medicine.lobotomize yourself with SSRIs, materialist scum.
Making you realize you need to wear women's clothes to become a complete person
>>24993485Anima possession is a sign of mental weakness.Many such cases nowadays, sadly.
>The only interpretation which explains the text is the initiated interpretation, and that depends upon factors as far removed from scholastic attainment as the appreciation of fine art depends upon factors that have no concern with a knowledge of the merely physical constituents of the pigments employed in its production.
>>24991808looks like MBTI to me desu arent girls into this shit?
>>24992213Yet he was an atheist. Proves my point that science is just magic.
