Carl Jung & Ideological Possession (Postmodern Crisis 1)

The first video in a series that features the thought of Carl Jung applied to contemporary political, ideological and economic developments such as the War on Terror, the rise of the New Right, social media influence and the presidency of Donald Trump. This video discusses what causes a person to embrace an ideology and what causes them to shift to a new one.

I've returned to this video multiple times over the last one or two years. I should really start taking notes.

This seriously deserves more views considering the importance and relevance of the subject matter especially within the current wider cultural zeitgeist

Appreciate you sharing your journey. I've been living in DC for the last 25 years or so and see daily many of the things you saw. I've recently gotten into Jung, Nietzche and others through Jordan Peterson whereas in the past they were like archaic figures who sporadically appeared in academic discussions and music I happened to be listening to.

Thank you. Your perspective is highly evolved. This level of open dialouge is lacking so much right now.

Oh wow, this lady deserves a great deal more attention. It's a shame she never got on any major podcasts. Did she publish any books?

Thank you. I have been searching after this for years

I hope she got a job at a Christian university. Although, I don't think "becoming a conservative" was the right move. "If you label me, you negate me." - Kierkegaard. If you label yourself, you negate yourself.

If you say, "I'm a conservative, " then you're making a political ideology a foundational part of your identity. Then you cannot think outside that ideology without triggering an identity crisis. Reject ideologies. Don't have opinions on issues where you haven't studied a variety of opposing viewpoints on the issue in question, evaluated the logical validity of many of the best arguments made for each viewpoint, and analyzed the relevant evidence.
