Why did Freudianism get so popular in the 20th century and why did it die out so fast?
>>
>>25268359
Freudianism became sort of symbiotic with marxism in the post-WW2 scene because of the Frankfurt School, so when the thing that granted it a huge surge of popularity through symbiosis more or less died as anything but a hermeneutics of suspicion, it could hardly avoid dying itself as a consequence.
>>
Freud was right about a lot and no one wants to admit it because they think it would mean admitting they want to fuck their moms. Women also loathe the idea of penis envy
>>
As a side note I always found it interesting how evolution ended up becoming far longer lasting and influential than communism or freudianism despite being created with no real intent of being subversive and edgy, unlike marxism and freudianism, which were pitched as such ideologies from the very beginning.
>>
>>25268369

Lol, no it isn't. Any observed fact can be made to fit into the evolutionary narrative ad hoc. Why did being gay evolve when it's clearly not evolutionarily beneficial? ... Uh because the sisters of gays tend to be more fertile, or something. Why do women like tall men? Because back in our monkey past they needed protection! OK then why don't men prefer tall women? Uh... Uh... just make up some random story.

Men almost exclusively want women who are shorter than them and find it embarrassing if they're taller. But this makes no sense because if women prefer tall men then the taller the women you procreate with the greater chance your own son will be taller and be able to spread his genes.

If I had a choice of picking between two women who look almost the exact same but one is 5'4" and the other is 5'10", you can bet that I'm always going to pick the latter. Though of course if I could I'd pick both.

I don't think male preference in looks plays that large a part in evolution beyond the point of a woman passing the minimum requirements to be found attractive.

In almost every animal with a strong sense of sexual dymorphism on earth the female is the uglier one while the male usually has to aesthetically prove himself to the female in some way. Of course this also comes with the binus for the male that it can afford to have multiple partners at once as opposed to the female who would be too busy with pregnancy and all that jazz. Countless different societies around the world developed themselves in such a way as to where woman lack this freedom of choice and ones where the choice is far too limited (Pakistan, India and so on) always turn into shitholes filled with ugly mongoloids by some magic coincidence. Sadly while giving girls their part of the deal we forgot ours of being allowed to have multiple partners, if both of those needs are met than im sure we can evolve as a species into a higher level

Absolutely true. HOWEVER evolution can be true WHILE maintaining that not everything is reducible to it. The average atheist redditor will wield evolution like an ideology that has zero gaps and that explains everything.

Or maybe because gays had to be bi until recent times and managed to reproduce and spread their genes by creating families because of social pressure? It isn't that difficult to be a normal family man in your own city or village who ten dilates bussy in foreign brothels. Isn't this how homosexuality, outside of the theatre and red light districts, historically worked?

the top manager of my org had a wife and kids until mid 2000s when being gay would no longer impact his career so he dumped them. lmao this guy is so smarmy and "nice" meanwhile he ditched his fake family the minute he didn't need them to advance his career.

freud was useful against Jesus for around a century, and freuds sodomitical subconscious filled with unnatural concupiscence instead of thomistic passive intellect which can only be filled with unnatural concupiscence by habit, is still insisted on by modern psychologists. nevertheless it is harder to tell young people who you want to fornicate that they secretly want to fornicate with their parents than lennons theory that that all you need is love

Its still very popular
But equality has had one very interesting effect: A lot of the symbiology from the late 1800 do no longer translate, its now a foreign culture. And as time passes, it will get more foreign.
In one of his dream books, he talks about how a patient is describing wanting authority. She does this by describing a male enforcer uniform, which was not a lower class position as well. In the symbolic language he described a lot of it as "male power" and thereby its a "penis envy" dream, but he is also just describing that she dreams about escaping the confines of her social role.

But there is also the normalization of porn. And with it, a lot of the erotically charged language is suddenly tame.
When you talk about penis envy, wanting to supplant your father/mother, etc... it has a stronger impact on a prude culture who can't deny it. Will porn addicted gen X will look at it and shrug while agreeing with it..

Evolution has been serious since Ronald Fisher and its synthesis in population statistics and genetics which consider fitness (reproductive success) as given experimental data and study genetic statistics from there. In that sense it is using a priori theories with the only empirical content taken from genetics, and is thus as falsifiable as that one.
The problem you allude to is that the majority of people are interested neither in mathematics nor in genetics properly speaking, but are instead very interested in explaining fitness functions (not content with treating them as given), which is a completely separate question and where all the charlatanism comes out. Even here there are a few serious empirical arguments such as the decreasing fitness of mutations with the importance of mutations involved which is a falsifiable claim that happens to hold. Obviously it is a far cry from the pseudo-science of "why are short men incels ?" that plebeians consider the meat of evolution,

Jung was superior and truly helpful. The freudian dialectic works to destroy the goyim and their institutions. Of course it was propped up, marketed, branded, sold and choreographed as a super trend, like all jewish brain warts.

Prior to Freud, people who had mental illnesses were cast away into the asylum and forgotten about. It was Freud who posited that perhaps these people had an illness just like a physical one that could be cured, or at least managed, via talking therapy. It was therefore quite progressive for its time.
Whilst Freud's theories are debunked nowadays, he still made genuine contributions to psychology and psychiatry, and his concepts are still used today by professionals and non-professionals alike.

Freud was targeting a very different kind of mental illness than the type that gets you thrown in an asylum, though his earlier work in Paris was a more general study of "lunacy," talking therapy was designed for otherwise "sane" people who had manifested a sometimes literal paralytic dysfunction that stopped them from living ordinary lives. A lot of his clients like the Rat Man were perfectly capable of carrying out ordinary professional lives but suffered from paralysing neurosis in private. Most of Freud's clients just unable to unable to commit themselves to any kind of intimate relationship.

Psychiatry has been a thing since the 18th century. If you have to point to a single man for your claims it is undoubtedly Philippe Pinel and even that is reductive history. The audacity of Fraudians.

no matter what.

evolution the philosophy gets carried by the fact that evolution the logical/biological aspect , still exist in some significant sence.
also the more secular you go with understanding the world, the more everything must be explained by evolution , in a way that goes beyond humanity , like how communism is.

They didn't, and that's the problem. People still approach depth psychology thinking of Freud even though Freudian scholars themselves shifted closer to what Jung was saying in the 1910s.

I fucking wish.
Like the other anon said, not really, and that's exactly the issue. Psychology is massively held back by just deciding Jung didn't matter because uuuuh... he brought up mystical stuff and if you do that you can't be a proper science man. Despite the fact that psychology is an extremely wide field that should be able to cover nearly everything produced by mankind. ESPECIALLY fictional/religious works that cannot be subject to natural science.

>die out
uh, where? there is an emerging field called neuropsychoanalysis because neuroscience started confirming some theories Freud had; you also have classical psychoanalysis which is still huge in Europe, and you have Lacanian psychoanalysis
>>
Popular understanding of psychoanalyst based on how surface it is goes Freud - Jung - Lacan, and no names come after.
>>
The 20C. was the first time we really became self aware and so something like psychoanalysis would have become popular. See also, many other "self help" movements sprung up around that time and were immensely popular, whether they be on the secular (psychoanalysis,psychotherapy) or spiritual (religious movements) side.

But due to industrialization and its resultant technology advancements, the world shrank ever quicker. No man was ever more an island unto himself; everyone was in constant communication with each other, whether in the literal sense (telephony) or the more abstract sense of being bombarded by radio waves (radio, television, internet, WWW).

Because of this latter phenomenon, we all started to identify with each other and increasingly felt less the need to find out more about ourselves. The journey into self discovery ended there and now we're more interested in not NOT being part of the greater whole of society.
>>
Freud was a degenerate junkie pseud jew
Jung is where its at. He believed in God, his takes make more sense and are much deeper. Jung comes off like someone who is genuine in his expression and wants to help, freud comes off as someone who wants to poison the minds of the youth

Jung comes off as genuinely detached from reality. An actual schizo. Freud was dealing in the truth of human nature, unflinchingly and honestly. As for belief in God, Freud deals with that expertly and admirably in "The Future of an Illusion", I recommend you read it.
