    Nothing you said here makes any sense, but I suppose it sounds very ‘deep’ to you or something?

    Theories are not maps, wtf are you smoking over there?

    If you really want some hardcore weird shit, looking Jung. Nobody touches his shit anymore because it was even more whack than Freud. But his work does make for an excellent story telling model for fiction. It has jack shit to do with real psychology though.

      Theories can be viewed metaphorically as maps. If I define ground with hocus pocus nonsensensical alchemy I can lay the foundations for modern chemistry, same can be said for medicine. I could argue that Plato created Christianity monotheistic god on ‘The Republic’.

      Your critic of Freud is valid but that doesn’t mean he didn’t lay a fundamental metaphorical map

        No, I’m saying you’re just wrong.

        All of those things are straight up wrong.

        I can claim that I can grow wings and fly, but I’d be wrong. And yes, stupid people will believe stupid things like Freud’s theories.
