Re: The decider is the ego
When I speak of a domain of knowledge I am speaking about serious knowledge and not general fantasy. And when I study a new domain of knowledge I try to exercise due diligence in the form of choosing a reputable guide in the form of a great thinker in that domain of knowledge. I do not study those things you ask about. I think your claims against Freud cause me to question your judgment or perhaps it is just that you speak of matters about which you are ignorant.

Re: The decider is the ego
Take it from me, Freud has a very, very low star in academic psychology circles. Basically the theories are circular logic through and through, and the majority of his writings are based on a _single_ case study of what was most likely an individual with brain lesions and perhaps drug addictions, the infamous Anna O.
If this was done physics it would be the equivalent of watching someone throw a baseball upwards and theorizing baseballs don't adhere to the laws of gravity, hence the laws of gravity don't apply on spherical objects.

And how do you have that much confidence in your knowledge of the topic ( in which you are a neophyte ) to recognize great thinkers. You have on this forum, posters with knowledge of the fields, perhaps they, or people like them, should be your guide to the guide you are looking for, rather than whatever method you've been using ... they haven't served you well so far. You've been wasting valuable investigative time on dead ends. luckyme

I constantly get loads of sophomoric bluff and bluster.

On the other hand those constantly exploring new domains of knowledge may too quickly think they learn how to separate the bluff and bluster from the real thing.
