    The important thing to remember about Freud is that while his ideas may seem spooky to us, you have to consider the ideas he was overturning. Mental issues were seen as everything from the divine spark to a fugitive uterus. He was the first person to examine the psyche with anything resembling rigor and methodology.

    So what you’re saying is that the collective field of Psychology wants to kill its father? Sounds pretty Oedipal to me… XD
