Carl Jung on a meaningless life #shorts

Viktor Frankl similarly said that man's real aspiration is not a will to power but a will to meaning. Frankl had seen the Nazis subjugate individuals in the name of the State. You cannot achieve self worth as a drone enslaved to a collective no matter how apparently beneficial it may claim to be.

I only recently discovered this man and he's the most sane person I have listened to thus far

Absolutely. Communal thoughts are core of a person for the cause existence. Whatever educated or uneducated the community is, it will always exist. Not only human, its totally applicable to all other species.

group think is alive and well, but will collapse.

[zog]

It's a loaded question, the individual is not sacrificed as a necessity to communal good, quite the opposite. Jung is correct, but here does not address the loaded aspect of the interviewers brain wrong.

yes, a straight regress to first principles/true religion is required against the Gay Progress Of Technology

Not sure what he means. I think that he is favoring not becoming part of a collective, and that he is critical of it. The unconscious is different and separate from a conscious social model, regardless of whether it is collective or not. Again not sure what he means. Of course he’s far ahead of anyone around even now. His response here I would like to know carefully

[AnatolieLupacescu]

that's one case where history proved Jung to be wrong.
