A Jung quote
- Thread starter humble soul
- Start date
We are far more complex than we think.
What people lack in intelligence, they make up for in cunning.
But then cunning is a kind of intelligence. Street smarts? Being able to read people. The "good" salesman has it. Knowing how to close in on their prey. Close the deal.
Cunning is more important for survival.

Not a fan of Jung. I was as a teenager. Led to tarot cards, runes, a long trip down a dead end street in mental health inc.
Cleverness can compensate for lack of iq, to a point. I had a 120 iq, but I was precocious and clever. Now....
Not even making this up....95 iq from drugs and psychiatry...nervous breakdown, some kind of heavy treatment in a psychiatric hospital...
The latest estimate I've heard is 150. This is nearly 8 years after my conversion. Some kind of severe mental illness on board, blah blah blah....
I think I now have a lot more questions than answers, and I am not as clever.
Now...try to steer clear of Jung.

Most people avoid an in depth study because he is too hard to understand. Including me.

He thinks that the psychiatrist is a modern day priest. Its...pseudoscience, with a heavy dose of occult material.
Yes we have the potential for those, the problem is in reality our lifestyle does not lead us to being a saint, rather the absence of God in it leads us not to being a criminal but to being confirmed and hardened as a sinner.
Being a genius only means one is a clever sinner.
Any world view that does not have God at its centre is false.
If you want to emphasise that part of him. Focus on the academic and clinical work and you will discover why his name lives on.
If it had God at its centre, it wouldn't be a world view any more.

I would need more evidence of your credentials before taking your assessment of Jung seriously.
