no shit… thats wild, really. heh. I always presumed it was an optical disk in a little case

money! just production costs I’d say. I took a 3D design class forever ago and they made us get Zip disks, and if you wanted to work on stuff at home that meant you needed a zip drive. My dad (RIP) bought me a drive and I’m somehow still touched as it was a reasonably big purchase at the time for a slacker 18 year old doing 3D design at a community college

Not a 3D designer now, finally went back to college for something else in my 20s… anyway, rip my dad and rip the zip drive, they were cool. 100mb wow

I mean you clearly know way more about it than me… but yeah some kind of carrier/cartridge protecting the disc and we’d probably still be using CD-W-RW’s

minidiscs should have been the standard CDs became. no one would have considered holding a 3.5" floppy disc gingerly by the edges and placing it into a tray to read. the case is critical.

however, the industry realized people were replacing their scratched cd’s, so they’d sell 2, 3 of the same disc to the same person. Source: worked at a record store in the hight of the CD age when mini discs were all but essentially snuffed out

you’re projecting!!

thats a good point. why does he get a pass?

speaking of disses though, that quote from old Carl is pretty brutal

psychoanalysis isn’t anywhere near the whole of psychology. there is plenty of solid research in psychology thats undeniably scientifically as sound as any test in physics- the thing is counfounding variables are challenging to control in human populations, so you need absolutely massive samples and multiple double blind studies followed up with meta analysis to try to remove them, including researcher bias and plenty of other variables.

One thing to consider is there is rarely, if ever, proifit in helping people be psychologicall healthy on an individual basis. So, chem and physics gets funded because you can make things and sell the results.

Its not chemestry! but there is a lot of science happening in psychology, but it’s woefully underfunded because you can’t sell the product in a clear way, and no one wants to talk about how a healthy society has less crime, health problems, addiction, etc.

Pretty sure the part that we’ve moved way beyond was his somewhat central ideas that everything was sexual, relating to the penis or the lack thereof. Things like if you have a skat fetish you are into the idea of a phallic thing (poop) coming from the anus which then represents a reverse vagina, or oral sex is a man’s attempt to feed their partner with the penis acting as a sort of perverse breast- crazy coked out ideas like that.

He went much further saying everything’s a penis and women want to have them and thats why they’re so angry, (not because society has made life 10 times more difficult for women than it has been for men since the dawn of time). So one could see why a lot of poeple really don’t like him and toss his good ideas in with the terrible ones.

In my experience most of his ideas about the psychological processes (sub-consious motives, transference, displacement, projection etc.) that I mentioned and that you also touched on as well are still seen as valid and foundational to understanding psychological functioning.

see thats the thing, you view it all as bullshit and many people do not, and it can’t be quantified either way. So if a Freudian or Jungian lens helps a person understand situation in a way thats healthy and useful to them, then there you go. If they don’t see things that way that’s fine also.

I wouldn’t describe the person who essentially invented talking therapy from scratch a footnote when learning about psychology related to talking therapy.

Do you think William James or Lecan should also just be considered footnotes because we’ve learned so much since then?

Anyway, a Freudian analyist would have a field day with your user name, just to say

You can’t prove Freud’s ideas of Projection, Transference, Displacement and Narcissism, but that doesn’t mean he had no idea what he was talking about (with these specific ideas), its not all entirely bullshit.
