    The SHADOW also contains "nice" characteristics. For example, the desire to hug your fellow human. It's just that the individual pushed that side down to the shadow, because they learned somehow that it was unacceptable. So the shadow has unpleasant characteristics, but certainly not exclusively so.

      Normalizing audio takes all of 120 seconds for a video of this length. I know this because I'm an adobe editor. There shouldn't be a 10db+ difference between narration and title sound. Mike's narration is inexcusably inaudible over the closing title cards.

Now as you say there are many different forms of therapy and over a century of data and trial and error. When you read about how Freud handled some of his patients.... it's like, "yikes!"

    @Astabroth 6 років тому +66

    What a complete butchering of both Freudian and Jungian ideas! I suppose the limited time in these videos can't possibly allow for anything other than a cursory glance at the psychoanalysts. However, this video is a complete misrepresentation of what Jung thought of as the archetypal masculine and feminine (presented here in this video as the anima/animus). If anything, Jung would considered the archetypal feminine as the source of all creativity and revered it just as much, if not more, than the archetypal masculine. This reductionistic assigning of seeming negative qualities to the feminine and positive qualities to the masculine is NOT at all what Jung does. Also, since when was 'the self' considered an archetype? It's the conceptualization of a completely integrated personality, not an archetype.

  • @ThePeaceableKingdom
    @ThePeaceableKingdom 6 років тому +6

    It's very difficult to thumbnail Jung's ideas - partly because of the subtlety of the ideas themselves, partly because of the layers of cultural accretion that have adhered to them, but mostly because Jung did his thinking in public over the course of about 70 years and changed his mind on fundamental issues along the way. So any summary of Jung is met with the question "is this the Jung of 1922 or 1939 or 1970 etc." (The same is true of Freud, with less development over time, but even more cultural accretions...)
    But this channel is "CrashCourse," not "Nuanced Topics in Deepest Depth." I hope it inspires interested folk to look a little deeper into some interesting and influential thinkers.

    While I get your discomfort with discussing some of Jung's ideas, I would appreciate it if you didn't feel the need to express it at every instant while discussing it. You could have started off by stating your apprehensions or stated them after discussing his ideas. It would just seem more genuine and give the due value to the ideas, in and off themselves. Just a suggestion though.

    Just so you know, Jung's archetypes are not 'a sort of super psychic ether', they're part of the human condition like instincts are. Archetypes are concepts similar to Kant's a priori concepts, and they're both way different from some sort of collective super mind of humanity.

  • @louisuniverse
    @louisuniverse 6 років тому +165

    there's nothing sexist about jung's idea if you consider that when he's talking about female or male he's actually referencing the archetypal forms of the concepts within the collective unconscious.
    He's not saying women are moody, when talking about the anima of a man, he's saying that one of the caracteristics of the female archetype is moodiness. that's it.
    stop acting offended.

    • @jaypickard
      @jaypickard 6 років тому +23

      Absolutely. To butcher Jung he's essentially saying that male and female individuals have aspects of both archetypes. If you look at the gender as a group such as with big 5 personality or their career choices (women choose far more nursing, primary education etc) then you can see the archetype come into focus. These archetypes have been around for thousands of years, Camile paglia has a great lecture about it.

      I have no problem of him saying Jung's idea was patriarchal. Being a man of the early twentieth century is quite possible that Jung was patriarchal. But I do have a problem with the way he said it. It's almost like a little side note to tell the audiences that 'hey, I'm not a misogynist. That's just Jung.'. And him giving his opinions about the anima and animus seem inappropriate as well. I get that he has his opinions but like I said, I don't like the way he said it. There's an attempt to signal his position as a feminist in the video. Or maybe that's just me.

      @juliettasorensen4574 5 років тому +11

      When you watch children growing up, their personality differences (timid, assertive, anxious, confident etc.) don't usually follow gender lines. Those come in as society reinforces what men and women are meant to be. There is actually very little supporting the idea that men and women naturally act differently. Jung was hugely influenced by traditional ibrahimic ideas of gender roles (think Christianity, Islam, and Judaism). It becomes sexist and oppressive when you equate women with all things timid and submissive, and men with all things aggressive and dominant, and use this to determine what is normal and acceptable. The criticism was bang on

    • @mojo9291
      @mojo9291 5 років тому +1

      It's meant to be both deeper and more general than that. There are positive and negative aspects of the anima and animus. Those qualities (in their absolute sense, i.e., "all things") are equated to (putting it better: are aspects of) the anima and animus themselves, not "men" or "women", which are concrete things and not what Jung nor archetypes as such refer to. They are embodied qualities that belong to the collective unconscious and ultimately to whatever that stems from (something like the a priori )facts of evolution). The criticism was too shallow and so is yours.

    Its important to understand that Jung's use of masculine and feminine was meant to express the duality that is build into the world when it moves from the unconscious wholeness represented but the Uroboros to the limited nature of the conscious thought. The fact that they are male and female is simply because there is a proclivity toward one of the poles with each of the sexes and women and men by their nature show a side of the duality as they are seen as a duality. This should not suggest that women are damned to the feminine aspects, simply that their positions place then uniquely close to the positive and negative aspects of the feminine or mother: life giving and taking, consuming and terrible but nurturing and feeding. So when Jung says the feminine traits it is wrong to assume it means women necessarily have them simply that they are most symbolized in women

    In modern story-telling theory, we have the concept of "mental sex" which correlates to the animus and anima here. We also see a lot of role reversal with the mental sex, so that characters deviate from their gender-assigned mental sex. I only point this out because Leia is dominated by a male mental sex where Luke is dominated by a female mental sex. So, he really has and animus, not an anima. Minor semantic point, but since we're talking about character building and all that, figured I would mention it.

    Those "yeesh" moments when discussing anima/animus were just overtly politicised for no reason other than to virtue signal. Jung's ideas on the anima were not statements that all women are irrational and moody. The guy who had no doubt seen thousands of patients would've made the observation that women had the proclivity to tend towards certain personality traits than guys would. Which by the way aligns with the ancient mythology with which you are discussing so that only makes you look like a hypocrite. The "ladies need a lot of help with that kind of thing" in reference to searching for wisdom is just quite frankly stupid. Nobody is helping ladies with these things. They would be achieving those goals entirely by themselves due to a part of their own psyche! The conceptualisation Jung used to define the idea was again based on ancient archetypally (not stereotypically) defined ideas of what separates male and female. You need only look into mythology to understand that.
    Keep the cringeworthy political subtext out of the discussion because it isn't appreciated!

      As someone who is trans, I disagree with a lot of whats said here. Men and women are pretty similar, and theres no clear distinction between traits, outside of what can be accomplished through hormones. Culturally, there are imposed differences, but these are social differences, or constructs, rather than truly defined differences

    • @grobanlover292
      @grobanlover292 5 років тому +2

      Boy its a good thing I grew up and still am christian, otherwise that jumble of flowery word vomit wouldnt make a lick of sense. As much as you like to convince yourself Im mistaken, you really have no idea what its like to not align with your gender. Youve concocted this wonderful sounding fantasy that doesnt even begin to address any actual parts of being trans, and frankly sounds pathetic and ignorant. Your idea of a revival occuring because of people viewing themselves as their own god shows a misunderstanding of what people think nowadays. Your ideas of the mirror are wrong based on science, because all I need to do is be born with a few different genetics, but same chromosomes, and I look and sound different, thanks to hormones. And Ive got sin. But this is no sin. This is loving and accepting myself, and living out my heavenly body as God intended. Its not perfect, but nothing on this world is. Sometimes that happens. thats okay. Your hate and ridiculous statements though, theyre nothing. They are fun to laugh at though.

    • @grobanlover292
      @grobanlover292 5 років тому +3

      1. I am Christian, I have given my life, and whether you believe my words on that or not doesnt change that.
      2. I do not believe in science. I accept science as valid. I trust science. Science is not a belief system, but simply a method of stockpiling and organizing information. So, that phrase is rignt, but not how you intended.
      3. Nothing about being trans is popular. I felt threatened by my parents, I struggled to find a safe place to work, I had to hide myself often. Nothing about it is popular. Popular assumes want to be it, and will envy people who are it. Hiding yourself from people makes it clear this isnt popular.
      4. Raketeering's a new one, ill give you props for creativity. Still rude, as you admit, but clever.
      5. You realize that the original Jewish God, Yahweh, was not considered to have a gender, right? And that we are based off of God? And that Genesis is not meant to be taken literally, but figuratively, as a moral poem about consequences of disobeying God, and that the origin stories (Of which, Im sure you know, there are two) contradict when taken literally?
      5. Genetics creates a lot of weird things. Theres all sorts of mutations, all sorts of deviations from your 'Norm'. Intersex people exist, people with hormonal or genetic differences and develop differently than a cis person (person with a gender identity that matches their accepted body) would, or are born with malformed genitals, or both genitals... the list goes on. These are things that happen genetically and physically. Nothing is wrong with this happening, yet this stigma against people who deviate from gender roles forces them to be treated as female more often than not. Deformations are not wrong, just as Jesus, who healed and spoke with lepers and the crippled and the blind, and the mentally ill. Where is your love, then?

    • @revyqui6946
      @revyqui6946 5 років тому

      EverythingIC Christians were the ones who created this mess of different gender roles. It was their God who didn't know if he was male or female in the beginning. Making others believe that because they like to put make up in the face, then they must be female. If their wasn't such a need to put down woman in Christianity. Men would still be wearing skirts today and feeling comfortable.

    I have recently started diving into Greek mythology and one of the reasons is because I have read some of Carl Jung's work. I noticed he often referenced mythology and the old testament, but I didn't know much about either subjects. After reading the old testament, I read "The Iliad and I am now reading The Odyssey. I have noticed how mythology is very patriarchal, which definitely makes me want to open-hand slap my forehead at times. But, the stories are entertaining and educational.

I might've picked up on this, anyway, because I'm trained in the art of interpretting Literature, but... I noticed that a certain character kind of resembles James, and the house that person lives in kind of looks like James' home. That had some really interesting implications. Plus, you can totally view Alyssa as his anima. Right in the beginning, she talks about being overwhelmed by emotion a lot of the time, which is the complete opposite of James. The story is about their relationship, but it's also about him coming to terms with emotions he's been avoiding for years. Great series, I highly recommend it!

    He uses the exclamation word "Eeesh" twice during is description for anima/animas. He makes a point to show that men can be irrational too, which is true, but seems to fail in pointing at the women can be aggressive too. His seconds "eeesh" comes when describing how the animas give women wisdom, taking action and speaking out. Also, 2 animas( male traits) are aggression and obstenience. He doesn't seem to go "eeesh" on saying that women can have those to traits...

    if one wants a more insightful analysis of the two(if you find their ideas appealing) i suggest Jordan Peterson’s channel. He’s dedicated hundreds of hours to their ideas in his lectures, he’s a more interesting orator( not to say the man above wasn’t interesting but the brand that comes with the channel seems to bog down the controversial ideas that Freud and Jung hypothesized). He delves a little further and is very well read and worth the trip to his channel.

      Peterson is loved by the alt-right for his support of various racist and sexist ideologies. He uses Jung's ideas as ammunition in the culture wars; he no longer tries to explain them, and certainly has never wrestled with their implications for his own Nazi-ish ideas, nor how they comport with evolutionary biology (which is very well, actually) He's an ideologue and an egotist. Basically, he's lost the plot completely...

    • @attalan8732
      @attalan8732 4 роки тому +4

      That was a spectacularly shallow straw-man criticism of Jung and Freud. I feel obligated to clarify.
      1. Freud's work on the subconscious and unconscious mind laid the groundwork for what modern psychologists take for granted today - that we are not in control of a large part of our mind and motivations. Unfortunately Freud's peculiar interest in sexual reductionist is all he is remembered for today. That would be like if George Washington were to only be remembered for being a slave holder - yes, he was a slave holder, but he was also one of the most important Americans to have ever lived for his role in the founding of the nation and establishment of the limitations of the presidency.
      2. Jung, having left Freud precisely because of his peculiar form of reductionist, took the idea of the unconscious mind a step further - he proposed the collective unconscious. The idea is based on this presupposition: That ideas which are too complex to yet be understood or articulated in rational form are represented symbolically and in narrative form, to be imitated and embodied by people. It is no different to someone watching say... Spiderman, and deciding to emulate his character as a human being, learning from his mistakes and imitating his strengths. These archetypes evolve in the same manner as biological entities evolve, archetypes that accurately represent the nature of lived experience persist as people who embody those archetypes continue to be successful and transmit the stories to the younger generation, with each successive generation 'updating these ideas to match up with modern times'. That is why they are archetypes - the structure of the narrative remains the same while the details shift according to the times. Osiris (first godly pharaoh of Egypt) became God became Mustafa (from the Lion King), Set became Satan became Scar. That's just one example.
      3. As far as the legitimacy of their ideas are concerned? As I said, Freud's idea of the unconscious mind is now a fact taken for granted, while his work on sex has been mostly disproved. Jung's works meanwhile have been mostly ignored by modern psychologists not necessarily because his theories have been proven wrong, but because psychologists don't quite know what to do with them. They are like Einstein completely flipping the table on Newton, except psychologists were too terrified or too dismissive (because of the perceived superstitious element to it) to take him seriously (laziness and unfairly dismissive as far as I'm concerned), unlike Einstein. Part of the reason might be that the advances in technology enabling study of the brain and the subsequent biological reductionism that followed has led many psychologists to stray away from the more cognitive and social theories of psychology, definitely including Jung whose ideas were very abstract. Another reason might be the recent eminence of the psychologists studying the frontal lobe (high order thinking part of the brain) over affective neuroscientists (who study the much older emotional parts of the brain as well as emotion in general) because of the recent technological advancements made in that direction as well. Affective neuroscientists have demonstrated greater sympathy for Jung's basic presuppositions about archetypes (though the specifics are still rather debatable even in these circles) as it seems our emotions and the resulting behaviour act in line with the archetypes (more likely vice versa), and so Jung's claims that archetypes are the symbolic and embodied representations of the ideals of the 'collective unconscious' seem at least plausible if not likely.
      4. The problem with this video is that:
      (i) Some of the information presented was misleading if not false.
      (ii) Like Einstein or Quantum physics, none of Jung's ideas make any sense in isolation. You have to read dozens of his books to fully understand him as they all interrelate and build upon each other. I myself am a mere rookie in this regard. It is supremely dificult (and this video has failed) to explain his ideas in a way that makes sense in such a short period of time. I fear that may be another reason why so many psychologists dismiss Jung - one book by Jung doesn't make any sense on its own, but psychologists conclude that (based off that one experience with a book of his) that it must all make no sense, when the reality is that it makes more sense the more you read.
      5. It's interesting to note that everyone from the private sector to self-help gurus (god I hate that term) to social psychologist, anthropologists, and sociologists seem to agree narrative play a central role in our lives. It's just the biological (broadly speaking) and cognitive psychologists that continue to dismissis Jung as not to even be entertained beyond blanket criticism. Though his specific ideas about the nature of the archetypes are debatable, his fundamental presuppositions seem to be well-tested in practice, even if not taken seriously in theory.

    Most people read a book of Jung and think it is nonsense when in reality the rest of the argument is contained in all his other books and cannot be simplified into one book. Of those that decide to give him the benefit of the doubt and continue reading start to understand Jung, then most stop reading from terror.
    Only few survive to the end. Then it all makes sense. But only after reading many of his books and truly thinking about his work in a serious manner over a long span of time.
