How to Catch a Monster

Is that why people like Freud, Adler, and Jung contributed enormous concepts to psychology?
But Adler not so much, but Freud and Jung were both myth-makers, and Freud was an absolute monster.
And I did a whole speech about this at a Night for Freedom in New York some years ago.
But yeah, Freud was an absolute monster, a cocaine addict who gave his friends cocaine and praised cocaine and was just brutal to his clients.
And his clients came to him.
There were a lot of women who came to Freud and were talking about how they had been sexually assaulted by mothers and fathers in their family.
And he started to talk about this.
He got threatened.
He had six kids at the time, I guess.
And then this is where he came up with the Oedipus complex and the Electra complex, which is...
It's that he secretly wanted to be, wants to sleep with his mother and kill his father and so on, right?
Well, if you're sexually assaulted by your mother, you are going to be enraged at your father for marrying a woman and not protecting you, marrying a woman like that, and not protecting you.
Or if the girl is sexually assaulted, raped, molested by her father, It's a wish.
It didn't really happen.
It's just a fantasy.
It's an desire.
It's a dream.
So he set back children's rights like 100 years.
And hybridarchy was one of the main reasons that led to World War I. You read my question one word off.
Oh, sorry about that.
Why are bad people much better at detecting good people than good people are at detecting good people?
I mean, I think it would be the same reason that we're still not trained to detect virtue.
I appreciate your answer to the other question as well.
We're going to go donor only in a few minutes.
So again, you know the drill.
Thank you for the tip.
I appreciate that.
Alright.
Thank you.
You have sold me nearly instantly, but we are broke, not broken, and the reason is IT fraud is sabotage.
Sorry, I don't quite follow that, but I appreciate the tip.
In some cultures, you are not respected because it's viewed as what you should do.
Asking for reciprocity is like asking for a participation trophy.
The average draft beer is about $5 at the bar.
Oh yeah, so if you drink, you can afford to support philosophy.
And if you buy a beer, At a bar, one beer, you could have supported philosophy.
So it's just a matter of being honest about your priorities.
Whatever you do is what you prioritize.
And if you prioritize getting a coffee out or having a beer, if that's what you spend money on and then you don't subscribe to philosophy, then you are valuing the coffee and the beer above philosophy.
Right?
By their fruits shall you know them.
Judge actions, not...
So if you want to know what you value in life, just look at what you spend money on and what you don't spend money on.
That's what you value.
And I know that, and you know that, and everybody knows that, right?
