your opinion is terrible.
-------------------- Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time TRANSCEND

Quote:
Kukaracha said: Jung and Freud made what we call in french "topiques", organizations and structurations of the mind.
These tend to explain everthing, and seem extremly accurate.
However, the problem is that although Jung, Adler and Freud didn't say the same things, all of their theories work. It's not psychology, but psychanalysis, wich should be used carefully.
Let's remain skeptical about these things. : )
I eschew skepticism about things which I can know. Refer to the philosopher, Karl R. Popper's Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge for more.

Crank: once elves are talked about in his manner it is Dungeons and Dragons and no longer science.

You can refute science in the absolute; however, you need to refute reality for that. If reality is accepted, then science is proven, 1+1=2.
Plus, if you agree with Popper, then psychanalysis isn't a science; what do you know about it? What proofs are they? What makes Jung more relevant than Freud or Adler? I believe that Jung is right on some points, like the Anima (the Animi seem unexplained to me though, why not one Anima in the feminine psyche?), but I still use it carefully.

I ment visionary as he imagines what could be. I dont think he ever says anything and concludes to his audience that it is fact. Its just food for thought. And much thought does his food bring.
