>>14192349Agreed, the evidence is all around us and it's so apparent that him and Jung were really pushing the science of consciousness and the mind, but just like our ancestors would struggle to interpret modern technology due to their lack of words to describe it (Imagine telling a roman to go "google a website on chrome on the laptop", he wouldn't know any of those words. ). How do you describe the mind if not in metaphors? Okay, maybe you don't really want to FUCK your mother literally, but she's the first tits you suck and she's the first woman you see daily. It affects you on a very fundamental level in ways that Freud understood and sought to examine. and to have found an analogy in something as culturally embedded as a myth, that shows the depth of the collective conscious at play here. To refuse to understand Freud is to refuse any true understanding of the human mind.
