Wilhelm Reich is the most German name I’ve ever heard
that's because the English speaking world refuses to translate "Reich" to "empire" in the context of Nazi Germany. So yeah, "third empire" would be a good translation. Like the third empire after the first (HRE) and second (the Bismarck one)
He wasn't german, he was jewish
@@browniniobrowni2074 dude, he was German. To say that the German jews aren't German is Nazi propaganda.

One of the things that turns me off to psychology is the way so many prominent theories seem like they describe the author not the broader population.
Well they can describe certain parts of the population of what happens as a result of certain factors
From a scientific point of view, my issue with psychology is the same, primarily that the sample sizes they base their conclusions on are far too small to be a meaningful representation, and the results are more qualitative than quantitative. I don't blame them much, though, they didn't have many tools to perform quantitative studies and were probably doing the best with what they had available. Gotta start somewhere. I compare it to how Leeuwenhoek's microscope provided the foundation for microbiology and biochemistry.
Projection is a part of psychology as is subjective view, ive got a new theory Im working on called amalgam theory that will chabge the way we view each other/ ourselves
@@noobtuber10 I’d love to hear about it. If you want to keep me updated that’d be sweet!
Psychology is the practice of thinking everyone is as deranged as you
That horribly dangerous line between brilliance and insanity. Seems this man had one toe on the side of brilliance and nine on the other.
And always five toes in jail.

Do you think this is true though?
Lol same
Thank god for modern medicine fixing that problem
the same is true for philosophy
nah dawg he was 50% deranged 50% plain dumb
"fantasies he developed for his mother" well, i guess he wasn't too freaky for freud then
I wonder if the development of these fantasies was actually created and facilitated by Freud.
@@maxmilian1243 i dont think reich knew about freud as a the weird child he was
@@maxmilian1243 ???? Weird thing to say lol
You're all laughing, this man and his son protected us from cigar UFOs and you're laughing!

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes it's a goddamn UFO.
People are stupid af. They’re probably all vaxxed so dw. Won’t last much longer. 😂
Trotsky and Mein Kampf are a wild combo
yea, a psychologist wants to analyse people, so exposure to different viewpoints is probably of interest

i learnt about this man from one of his books that i was reading for some homework. im not sure if his book was even supposed to be in that list for the students to choose for their thing. on the first half he talks about how much people surpress their sexual desires and some actualy coherent analysis then on the second half he talks about the life force and how the look of the galaxies somehow are similar to two people having sex. covid became a thing during that time so i never had to submit my homework
lovely story
Yeah really great story. Maybe you'll be the next Reich!
You’re telling me that Victorian era Vienna had one stop shops for therapy, political advice, and condoms? Why have we not brought this back???
Because politics should have nothing to do with either of these.

I remember reading a series of essays on psychological armouring by that guy. I came to the conclusion that you really need to be sceptical. He's like if Freud was having a manic episode every seventh paragraph: He'd have this knack for starting off making a completely coherent point, say analysing a patient or something, and you'd be nodding along like "ok, I can see that" and then apropos of nothing he'd be like "AND THAT MEANS THAT THE PATIENT WANTS TO RAVAGE THEIR FATHER'S ANAL CAVITY!" and you'd sit there like "What the fuck, where did that come from?"
hahaha this guy sounds great
Thats a good description of my dad tbh
This man basically Giga-Freud
This guy was permanently in post-nut clarity.
🤣🤣🤣
His whole orgone energy thing also had some amount of influence in occult spaces as well, for better or for worse.
Interesting, I wonder if he had any ties to the occult and other secret organizations
Peep show
Omg... I thought his life was a trip but those last 3 minutes got weird.
There Is also the anecdote of the FBI officer in the raid that admitted having bought an orgonmachine, he said he did know it was a lie but it made him happy because it made his wife stand in silence many hours a day.
Ah the old time where people married people they hated !

Wilhelm the Simp
Kinda weird you didn't mention his book "The Mass Psychology of Fascism"
I’ll try to make a video more on his ideas some other time hopefully. He was profoundly affected by what he saw in Europe and was very much against fascism
@@Sisyphus55If you do, remember that they are "cloudbusters" not "cloudbursters", and "orgone/orgonoscope" rather than "organe"
I knew it was going to be Willhelm Riech. My favorite song is called Cloudburst by Kate Bush it beautiful it’s about a book written by Willhelms son about his cloud busting machine he invented and how he was taken by the government.
Had no idea. Woah.
Man, what a wild story. I also think it speaks to einstein's character. To hear something that absurd and unbelievably yet still be willing to accept the gift and test it for himself? An open minded mindset that everyone can be inspired by.
Science was not so developed back then, Newton and Fritz Haber famously believed in alchemy. Therefore, good scientists had to keep an open mind
I used to be into Reich for what’s now called bioenergetics, basically breathing and stretching exercises to loosen chronic tension that affects your mind and personality. Our mind creates physical tensions which creates a feedback loop of negativity until you intervene through physical exercises. So, he had some really positive effects for many ppl. It’s sad to hear that he was like this tho. If I were alive then, I’d probably have a very bad impression of him.
Bioenergetics is great and he wrote other very great books. It is easy to label him. He had many flaws but there is a lot we can learn from him. We just have to make the choice.
You know he is not right in the head if even back in the time he is from they even suggested he was unethical..and they were right
You can say that about any revolutionary, that’s not what dictates if someone is not right in the head
I genuinely do not understand what you are trying to say.
When you say "even back then", do you mean to imply that people "back then" weren't yet as enlightened as we are about moral questions and still recognized that he was wrong? But according to our current morality, he was actually more right than his contemporaries. Or did you mean to say that his time was more enlightened than ours when it comes to moral questions? But then, why would you say "*even* back then"?
@@enlightenedturtle9507 I'm pretty sure theyre saying that his time was less enlightened than ours. So for the general psychology community of that time to view him as crazy or psychotic, he would be even more crazy than what we consider for that time
@@guillermomartinez6006 The dude got off to whipping horses, then made young children strip down infornt of adults and had them stare at them.
Then said he was fighting off aliens with lasar beams that were produced by basically sexual energy.
Dude I am fairly certain those are signs he wasn't right in the head.
@@lakamokolaka Good point.
I had saved your video the most savage philosopher to watch later quite a whole back. After watching it again today and still enjoying it decided to watch this. The quality of your videos have improved quite a bit while retaining what I enjoyed about the previous mentioned video. You should be really proud. Thank you for the quality videos and have my sub.
horniest man alive
Reich is weird. Some of his premises are reasonable and one can agree with them, but the way he develops them and his conclusions are not acceptable.
Some of his conclusions are reasonable and one can understand why he says what he says, but the way he gets there is really controversial, if not absurd.
It is one of those controversial personalities in the history of psychology.
The man went to a brothel at 15
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerning_Specific_Forms_of_Masturbation
Do you think this is true though? I hope it is.
Love the combination of passive narration/primitive animation contrasting the hilarity.
Fun fact: Wilhelm Reich created the Wilhelm Scream.
He’s the Third of such Reich, the other 2 were lost in a miening Kampf.
you should look into anti-oedipus. I think as some one is who is really into psychoanaylisis, you will either hate it or love it.
Often i think of "coomers" like this as a person who wants so deeply to be loved that they turn to devious sexual encounters in order to fulfill these desires. You see it so often nowadays. It makes me really sad so many still feel undesirable and have unmet emotional needs. At the end of the day, we are all just animals with animal like desires
The searching for mother's love. I believe in that too!
It's more similar to a natural heroin addiction. In that people who do this tend to become very passive. It can also often go over into paraphilias. Which might not necessarily be about mothers. Or in that case it might be about rejecting your mother? And parental authority. Where you can't imagine being attracted to one of those authorities. Or loathe the very idea of adulthood. This seemed to have been sort of the case with Michael Jackson. He just seemed to loathe the idea of adults. And probably felt threatened and depressed by the idea of them.
Am I the only thinking this all screams "syphilis"..?
I was making tea in the last 6 mins since this came out
This channel is excellent. Thank you.
I think I remember that Kurt Cobain tried out Will S Burroughs Orgone accumulator.
Very good stuff. This came at the right time actually.
I'm not sure if this is all about Reich in fact. I remember some of these things were stated about a patient of Reich's. Perhaps Reich's description of the patient was actually Reich's own life story. Can't be sure
*where the heck did all these negative orgones come from?*
Reich came up in a book by Deleuze and Guattari that I was reading. This puts those references in context. Thank you!
i made my friends look through the titles of the sections on this dudes wikipedia page a while ago, wild ride
I first heard about Reich thanks to "WR: Mysteries of the Organism" which is a film part the Criterion Collection. It's loosely connected scenes that sort of expand on the philosophy of Reich. It was quite interesting and i highly recommend to get more insight into what he was looking into. But it is a weirdo art-house film, so definitely not for everyone. But I found it so interesting I went ahead and purchased one of Reich's books after watching the film.
It's so nice of you to put Wikipedia into audiobook format
If you read any Reich you will see him more of a tragic figure and a very wholesome one in his later life. Most forms of body and breathing therapy come from him. Visiting his institute was a very great experience. Many patients were real happy with him and a lot of his political writings remain real influential still. I think his slander from the press tarnished any sort of positive image of him. Reading anything by him shows a very careful and compassionate man. Yes he was very blunt and obsessed with sex. But the experiments were to help cure people , and yes to an obscure degree.They made him tense with opposition from the government and fascists and psychoanalysts throughout his life.
New upload I'm happy
Hey sisyphus I have some suggestions if you dont mind
Ayn rand
Mark twain
Thomas paine
Alfred jarry and pataphysics
Please not Ayn Rand her works are so dreadfully boring
Plus L Ron Hubbard and Joseph Smith.
WTF! I knew psychoanalysis was a weird field, but this guy takes the cake
he makes Freud`s sexual obsession seem sane
You watch a 10 min video and come to this observation? Maybe try reading books yourself?
Thanks, you made my day
Good one like always
Recently started going to a psychologist that uses Reichean psychology, definitely impressed me how accurate it is, despite him being a crazy mf
@@a_m5115 Instead of watching these videos, you better read the man's works on psychology.
@@dragonmartijn can you recommend me some of his books?
@@acielvert8573 "An introduction to orgonomy" and "Character analysis". The first book is a bit difficult, but once you understand it you will know most of his thought world. Character analysis will learn you more in the same direction and is handy to understand people. I read him more than 20 years ago and I know since then things are more complex (I am a catholic, so I assume God, Jesus, devils and things like that) and you have to critically see for yourself what you are able to take out of it for yourself, but about sexuality and psyche you need to read him as part of your basic education. Starting with his own insights he will btw also address religion and politics in other works. In matters of psychology and sexuality, you will never forget his way of thinking. You will be more wise than any LGBTQ+.
@@acielvert8573 Three books I can recommend: Bioenergetics, Murder of Christ and The Mass Psychology of Fascism. Brilliant, ingenious works. It is a shame only the sensational angle is pushed here. Especially his Bioenergetics are a jewel for trauma healing.
i love sisyphus
We all do
We must imagine him being happy, you know
The title wasn’t lying .
Why nobody is talking about his book “Listen Little man”
What about it?
Oh my Lord how have I never heard of this absolute madlad before???
Wasn't the machine called a "Cloudbuster" ?
Also fun fact, Kate Bush's song Cloudbusting is about this.
Omg I can't believe you did this I love Wilhelm Reich
what do you love about him?
@@cChrodinCc he was the first Freudo-Marxist in history. His best readings were those in the early to mid 30's imo
@@cChrodinCc Specifically, Bioenergetics which is somatic psychotherapy. Then his work on Superego and fasism and his book Murder of Christ. He was a genius. Or was he a psychopath? Perhaps there is a fine line.
This guy kind of sounds like a precursor to Dr Alfred Kinsey.
Yeah a lot of weird parallels, if your too freaky for freud than that speaks for itself....
I love your channel
Now that Kate Bush song finally makes sense. Thanks!
Which song?

Truly the Rasputin of his time.
As someone who's passionate about psychoanalysis and aspires to be a psychoanalyst that's very interesting, I didn't know about him
As a clinician who’s undergoing psychoanalytic training, Reich isn’t very important to the field…
I’m interested in psychoanalysis too! I’ve read some introductory materials that are really exciting. What’s your IG?

the idea of character armor is cool and makes sense. but a lot of that seemed like he was just trying to force reality to fit his theories instead of adapting his theories

So Netflix has the guy to thank...and man this guy really was immune to cancellation.
What do you mean - care to expand?
omg it’s the cloudbusting guy

That was aaaa trip
So he was sort of the "Caligula" of the psychotherapy world.
Only 1 minute in and I'm having second guesses about watching the rest of the video...
