I'm sorry, but I don't have access to specific cartoons or the ability to view or analyze visual content. To provide you with information or analysis about Larson's choice of tools for a particular cartoon, I would need a detailed description of the cartoon and its elements. However, I can provide general information about cartooning techniques or discuss Gary Larson's work if that would be helpful to you. Please provide more context or details if you have a specific question in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Statistically, it's conceivable that a man can be as dishonest and slippery as Freud and still come up with something true," Crews said. "I've tried my best to examine his theories and to ask the question: What was the empirical evidence behind them? But when you ask these questions, then you eventually just lose hope." Freud was not a scientist. He was a nutcase. I am surprised that you would put any credence in his "theories". Maybe you should read more Freud, before quoting Freud. Or, read more about what present day scientists write about Freud, and what Freud might have thought to be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GammaGlobulin Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, save the frogs said: yeah, but maybe he was too deep for you. doesn't mean he was a nutcase. I DO agree that Freud is deep. But only if one is talking about being in DEEP Doo-Doo. Freud is NOT science, if one is referring to the scientific-method sense of science. Freud, and Freud practitioners have caused untold harm to humanity and to society. Freud is a religion, based on faith, and nothing more. Here is why: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/why-were-still-fighting-over-freud/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7930904/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5459228/ The bottom line is this: Even today, therapists have just too much history, and too much invested, in the study of and the practice of the theories of Freud. We are gradually making progress removing Freud from the serious discourse of science, but... I think it will still require decades before we can FULLY Wipe this Doo-Doo, Freud, off the the bottoms of our shoes. Even after we do, the Stink of Freud shall remain with us, same with other evils, such as slavery, as well as other faith-based mumbo-jumbo religions, like Christianity. Let's see: In Christian Doctrine, God slept with his mother, according to the Bible, and so he must be a mfkr, as well as a Freudian Oedipal Disaster.

Thanks. I wasn't even aware that there was such a massive smear campaign against freud by the mainstream scientific community. And since the mainstream scientific community says Freud is doo-doo, it MUST be true. Since the mainstream scientifici community is modern-day God, isn't it? I have dabbled in psychology and have come across the theory of "subconscious motivations" several times. So I have done rudimentary scientific studies myself that validate some of the things Freud says. I'm not saying all his theories are accurate. But I AM saying that A LOT of stuff in journals like Scientific American is doo-doo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He speaks like he was off his nut on chemicals Actually, much of human behavior is heavily influenced by unconscious influences, such as bias, for example. Leon Festinger, my old pal, put forward his famous theory of Cognitive Dissonance, for example, which I think is a theory now respected by most people in the field of psychology. The only problem is that most people, the lay audience, does NOT understand what Cognitive Dissonance means, and CD is a term in science, not a PopPsych term. Cognitive Dissonance concerns stress and the reduction of stress through the defense mechanisms such as denial. We behave in ways that go contrary to what we know to be true. And thus, we resolve this stress-inducing discrepancy through DENIAL...for example. Or, we change our behavior to become congruent with our perceptions of reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
