and their own lives, she spent her entire career railing against the idea of a social safety net and those pathetic enough to need it and then wound up living out the end of her life poor and on welfare.

People disagreed, sure, but who's model of the unconscious are you familiar with? Jung's or Franz Brentano's? How often have you seen the idea of the collective unconscious pop up in pop culture?

>There are probably thousands of people that were persecuted over this bullshit concept.

Remember that Freud originally said his patients were likely being molested by their parents, and was forced to walk back those comments after a large amount of public outcry. Also, remember that he was one of the first psychiatrists to renounce the his own sexual fantasy root cause theory in 1905, a good 75 years ahead of the rest of the world.

wow ideas evolve over time? no way!

Everything Freud and Jung got right has been so thoroughly ingrained into modern thought that all we ascribe directly to them now is their failures

Or the subconscious mind? or traumatic repression?

you're really lashing out here, huh?

Hello. I'm Albert Camus, Of Camus' Own Thoughts For Youse. I'm telling you folks this is amazing, the world's first canned soundbites. knock knock See? Tin. Forget books, forget everything else. Its all meaningless in the face of the Absurd. That is not a bad thing. It simply is.

I can respect Kierkegaard, but I'll always turn to Sarte or Camus when I'm in need.

that's very nice, dear

>It’s really not crazy to think a company wouldn’t want to be the go-to example.

Of course its not, but why would coca-cola see themselves this way? I don't see much criticism of their supposed creation of what I have dubbed The Post-Modern Sinterklaas, though I have seen much nostalgia.

>(Also who the fuck said anything about “creating Santa clause”)

The modern image of santa claus*. Thank you for being pedantic, I'm sure that was cathartic for you.

Why would they have any reason to lie about creating the neo-modern Sinterklaas*? This is flat earther levels of conspiracy

go with Timothee Chalamaladingdong for Kierkegaard

Far moreso the former, in that I believe the reality that we perceive on a day to day basis is to an extent generated by the collective unconsciousness of man, though I would also say that I lean towards Sarte's idea that human existence preceeds its essence.

and yet i'll always prefer Xena

i'd say i'm a nondualist

I think you would get a lot out of reading Sarte, if I were you I would dive into Being and Nothingess (better translated as Being And Non-Being, in my opinion, but c'est la vie) and not look back.

Thank you for such an in-depth explanation, I appreciate it

>we can’t see the meaning of things as the Omniscient could, in a perfect way, in perfect categories, but we we can see meaning through our imagination. We create it, yet it exists as a possibility of the things.

so do you believe the essence of a thing preceeds its existence? Is the conceptual, in your mind, more pressing in regard to the nature of a thing than the physical?

Do you believe man is capable of generating meaning from nothing, or that man is capable of finding meaning where it previously did not exist? or neither?
