These ideas are also consistent with such traditional views of human nature as rationality battling emotion, the tripartite Platonic soul, Freudian psychodynamics, and religious approaches to humanity. They are also simple ideas that can be distilled to a single paragraph in an introductory textbook as a nod to biological roots of human behavior. Nevertheless, they lack any foundation in our understanding of neurobiology or evolution and should be abandoned by psychological scientists.
In summary, almost all of Freud is more than likely built on complete pseudoscience. Checks out, i’m not surprised. This is the guy who projected his gay sex dreams onto the entire field of psychology.
It’s why i’m never too mean to woo-woo types. Sure their prospectives are lacking a solid foundation but at least they’re not building it on commonly held beliefs we now know aren’t accurate. Just teach them a little bit of diamat and let them come to their off-meta conclusions.
As long as your ideas are self-consistent, aren’t fascist and apply to the real world, that’s all that really matters.

It’s incredible how this stuff is the basis for so much psychology when we have concrete evidence that it’s all just nonsense.

completely agree
It’s really not the basis of most science these days though. Freud is not taught in classes except in a very prefacatory for history context.
the paper seems to disagree
