the only realistic people are depressed, study after study shows it. I don't want to be realistic because being depressed is awful

@@therabbithat I could dare to admit that the realist, and the depressed, then have way less to do with the atrocities spreading across the society and the world as they are more likely to just harm to themselves, in all the possible means of (re)search, introspection, ways of perception and the labour to obtain the truth. It is of immense value, however if such explorers share their ideas through the means of speech, writing etc. I don't want to sound an absolutist nor relativist ass or judgmental freak, but the absence of a realistic outlook, a lack of grasp in the unending appetite for truth is more on the side of the ignorance which is also one of the qualities I occasionally despise about myself. The tendency to propose to things dialectically is what I could be striving towards, but I still think I'm quite far away from the method of 'pure' reason.

What did he get wrong?

@@therabbithat a realist can never be depressed. Its a statement

No offence, but I don't think the word you want is 'haughty'.

Me, too. This book, and ",Heart of Darkness. "

Yup. I"m listening for the second time. This book remains one of the great explainers of the human condition.

Aye, an original and useful (also insightful, cuz he was a funny guy!) comment on a youtube video. Thanks!

Book name?

@@spinozaverstehn587 Yeah. Also who is that funny guy on the thumbnail? Is he like a celebrity or something?

@@jakubmarko1285 In the introduction, Freud speaks of a friend who's really into yoga but F. says he can't relate to the "oceanic feeling" that allows some yogis to transcend the ego/atman or whatever you want to call it & and be one with the universe. It's all a question of having an objective perspective, where pure consciousness (which is what you should identify with) can watch all the noise and sensations going on your head as a sort of absurd TV program without getting caught up in it (detachment). Anyway, maybe you'd enjoy these books I've been reading recently: Karl Popper's "Open Society" (2nd video of the youtube audiobook + my comment there) about Hegel (the arch-phony propagandist) vs. Schopenhauer, the real philosopher), the short book "No Self, No Problem" (buddhism from a neurological perspective) and "The Schopenhauer Cure" by Irvin Yalom about psychoanalysis and Schopenahauer/Nietzsche

Freud was Jewish growing up in Vienna, the most anti-Semitic city on earth, then and now. He was also an MD, trying to convince the scientific community of the worth of psychoanalysis. I think his theories correspond to Kabbalah. Photos of him show Sabbath candles and a menorah.

I wouldn't say it's a belief but a fact. Religion justifies a moral framework from an objective standpoint. Without them, our morals have no objective basis and our societies decay

"Cruelty and intolerance to those who don't belong to it are natural to every religion." --Sigmund Freud

J R wow, real original analysis. 👍

Yes. I can, really, hear Nietzsche.

Of course they influenced the work as they were prior and read just as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche are evident in Jung work . Though Nietzsche is also the madman that rejects spirituality ,philosophy and civilization.

And Hegel though lots of Hegel

Thanks Amber. From Sigmund himself. Sorry self deception !

yes..u prefer?

The de-education of the population coupled with ease of access to otherwise required resources imo has caused a sort of socio-psychological disconnect. Facebook, Instagram, twitter; these things when used incorrectly boost the individual ego to a height in which one truly believes they are superior to the other. Creating a barrier if you will keeping what would be "shared" or "common" knowledge from being absorbed or identified. These communications are still being sent but not received. Which again imo is part of the reason ppl are so angry with eachother.

@@dirtycasual3094 I disagree there, I think social media neither adds nor reduces the amount of education. Resources however, do help the individuals obtain more knowledge and get exposed. Freud started the book by saying how the people are using false standards of measurement to what they deem of true value, and how the greatest people haven't been recognized enough by their contemporaries. It's the same thing. People hate on Freud, hate on such considerations of the past and have opposite ones today. It's the same cycle. But I shall say that Freud is usually hated on by religious people who don't admit it.

​@@dirtycasual3094I agree that social media has great potential for good but often is grossly misused to bolster individual status. That's why I haven't been on it for over 8 years, watching the decline of humanity on those platforms is painful to watch

@padarousou 100% lol I left Facebook so long ago and have never had a Twitter or IG account.

Really? Europe as a cultural entity has never risen to half the wisdom of the perceptions of its brilliant minds. Constricted by its need to satisfy is capitalist scientific materialism it has never made the spiritual none of these revolutionary insights into the human psyche- Soul(a term/concept that drives them unbearably paranoid)

James Strachey for WW Norton, probably pre-1960.

If u unironically listen to Tai Lopez it's already over for you

Oceanic feelings. The abyss of human depths and heights that expresses strong 'good' and 'evil' natures that are locked beneath the weak moral values of the coward herd mentality that accommodates those in society who gain power through weakness created through peace, the right to talk, moralize and will without the right of gods and not Gods. But you will not without hell as your teacher understand this.

Sounds like brian cox

@@danielmiskei9031 It says at the beginning: Steven Crossley (Sp.?)

What are his most prominent works in your opinion?

Check out Carl Jung's work--student of Freud, broke with Freud and developed his own (imo better) theories.
