Of all the people you could talk to about Freud that is indeed a weird choice to go with.

Freud wrote a lot of stuff besides his bit about the Oedipus complex; the fact that that's what people focus on about him says more about them than about him.

Girls don't like Freud mate. His pop culture image makes him appear very phallic-centric which makes them feel quite insecure and as if they're not talking to them personally. A valid criticism I think. Plus, a lot of people (usually women) have a rosy view of people's psychological makeup. Talking to them about the views of a man who most certainly thought everybody had unconscious drives that impeded their ability to connect with anybody else in a healthy way (see: civilisation and its discontents) is anathema to them.

>she's fucking gross

I want her.

>how do i make this less weird

By not taking with your mom like a weirdo, let talking about fucking Freud and shit. Are you weird or something?

you guys are no jelp

but thats not even wrong lmao

No it's not but it's not something people like to discuss. I can understand why.

I don't agree with or like any of Freud's works but I can understand how they got so popular because it opened up the whole concept of the subconscious and how another brain inside the brain, or a subbrain, that we are unaware of, is responsible of so many of the numerous decisions we make every minute.
But yeah the guy is a perverted gloryhunter and has preety much ruined modern physchology.

>guy is a perverted glory hunter
who here isn't
>pretty much ruined
the modern psychology of ruin.
sound like a girl.

the jew Sigmund Fred advises you to incorporate incest into your sex life

Freud* damnit

>i just learned more about what he was known for talking about...

How the fuck didn't you know about the Oedipus Complex before? You went all your life before hearing about that?

>who here isn't
by here you mean here on earth? not everyone is mate even though with hundreds of thousands of books and arts and whatnot are being produced every year these days makes it seem like thats not so. In fact, in my opinion, some of the best works across all disciples have come from people who are not after the glory or money, but a want for excellence and contribution.

And people wonder what's the use for an author's biography or the history of philosophy.

:)

Yep this is exactely what he was talking about, you know what must be done op

I think the impetus for excellence is renown because that = payday. But youre right, it's a literary-artistic jungle out there.
I meant on 4chin/lat/ exclusively.

maybe youre right and thats kinda sad. but maybe more in the past because now its hard to survive on writing alone, but i suppose after money people go after validation or fame which seems to be more and more the case since the internet.
or maybe im a stupid fucker that doesn't know how to choose what i read or watch wisely.

>Not being attracted to MILFs.

Nigga, mature women and are like the best category of porn.

>watching porn

Stop watching pornography.

Sounds like you'd like to Freudian slip it into her

>Well you shouldn't read Freud because he's wrong
How do you respond to this, Veeky Forums?

>the Oedipus complex means you literally want to fuck your mom

Why is this board so dumb

Don't feel bad, I once went with my mom to a play about Freud.

Are Jung and Freud examples of what happens when you take the "start with the Greeks" meme too seriously?

It's not really something you should discuss directly with your mother, but you can make it less weird by having a better understanding of the Oedipal myth. It's a symbolic story like every other Greek myth, not a literal story about the desire for incest being universal. Start by replacing "mother" in the story with "home".

uhhh you're suppose to find your crushes gross you memed yourself dude

People have an inherent desire to fuck their own home?

stoooooooop

How did you know enough about Freud to casually talk about him but not enough to know about the Oedipus complex?

That part isn't literal either mang.

>thinks his own mother is gross
woah

>a perverted gloryhunter

He invented psychoanalysis.

Oedipus complex is based on 0 evidence.
