Why is he taken seriously at all?

...

Because of sexually frustrated people.

You're all sexually frustrated, I think that was his point.

What is your mother's name? Tell me a bit about your mother.

I CALL HER WHORECUNT, NOW STOP TALKING ABOUT HER, SHE WAS A SAINT!!!

He is a joke. That cigar though looks like a penis.

Why is Mom porn a thing?

Was he circumcised?

>Freud is so stupid xD!! *tips*
I bet you still believe you have an ego and a subconscious though

Want mommy to get you some chicken tendies?

Because like macroeconomics or sociology, any pseudoscience which never produces any tangible results needs to cower behind "figurehead" theories to pretend it's a real science.

Because we imprint on our mothers during our formative months outside the womb. Or rather, we imprint on whoever is taking care of us.

Our moms might be "hot" but there's an override that imprinting gives. So we look for strangers that are similar to mom but not her.

Freud's problem was that he imprinted on a wet nurse rather than his mom. So when his mom took on post-infant/toddler care duties over Freud, he didn't have that natural block against incest. He was literally attracted to his mom as he got older and mistook that as a universal emotional response.

But which pseudoscience still gives a shit about Freud?

>he doesn't want to fuck his mother
lol fag

What is scientism

I don't know. What is it?

>Not wanting to fuck your dad
How can anyone be this gay.

what you're doing in

Saying that certain fields have "problems" and display figurehead worship is the polar opposite of scientism.

If you want effective psychology, study marketing.
If you want psychology that's laden with figurehead worshiping bullshit, study psychology

He was a cokehead. Do you trust anything a coked out friend or relative says?

So was Sherlock Holmes and Barack Obama.

Leeg-uh Lies It

That explains Freud.

Now explain the millions of people fapping to Mom porn.

One of those is a fictional character, and the other one is English.

Nietszche, Freud, Marx and Darwin.

The 4 horsemen that tried to destroy Christianity and failed. :^)

They're not literally masturbating to their mother.

>Marx
>failed
I wish ;_;

Mom porn features curvy women who look like mom but aren't mom. If we didn't imprint on mom, we'd find mom attractive (unless she's genuinely fugly).

>two fictional characters
What did he mean by this?

Freud will always be right, people don't want to know the truth but... sooner or later, everything happens...
Like sexual behaviors on kids (made by society) or sexualization of everything

Back once again for the renegade master,
D4 damager, power to the people.

He established some of the central tenets of psychology but is no longer taken seriously. He's like the Aristotle to biology

I think he was very accurate in the way we approach the brain. Freud reached into the evolutionary depths of human psychology, unlike now, where we try to interpret feelings directly.

He isn't. Freud literally has no bearing on modern psychology and psycho analysis.

He gets credit for pioneering the subject.

Why are his findings still relevant in literature analysis?

Because the analysis of symbolism is actually applicable to literature that actively and intentionally uses symbolism.

Paved the way to a lot of shit, even though most of what he came up with was wrong.

His work. and research is disregarded; however he is reknown as the man who pioneered psychoanalysis.

STEM people don't like him.
STEM people are evil.
Therefore, he must be good.

Wrong. Although Freud is largely considered irrelevent in most modern (pharma)psychology, he does form the basis for psychotherapy, even if most of his 'specifics' are smirked at and ignored today. His theories of defence mechanisms DO seem to largely hold up though. Plus, the idea of subconscious thoughts and intentions altering our behaviour is attributed to Freud.

Plus, the guy liked to finger and use vibrators on pent-up Viennese women, and who can blame him? Literally cucked hundreds of high-standing society men.

As you say, he gets credit for being the godfather of psychology. He set the stage for treating it like a science (insert STEM laughter here), even if he himself did put his carts before his horses.

Any decent psychology student should still study Freud a bit.
