It's incredible how this stuff is the basis for so much psychology when we have concrete evidence that it's all just nonsense.
It's why i'm never too mean to woo-woo types. Sure their prospectives are lacking a solid foundation but at least they're not building it on commonly held beliefs we now know aren't accurate. Just teach them a little bit of diamat and let them come to their off-meta conclusions.
As long as your ideas are self-consistent, aren't fascist and apply to the real world, that's all that really matters.
completely agree
It's really not the basis of most science these days though. Freud is not taught in classes except in a very prefacatory for history context.
the paper seems to disagree
