Why does he have an Asian last name?

He wore a gnostic ring: "It is Egyptian. Here the serpent is carved, which symbolizes Christ. Above it, the face of a woman; below the number 8, which is the symbol of the Infinite, of the Labyrinth, and the Road to the Unconscious. I have changed one or two things on the ring so that the symbol will be Christian. All these symbols are absolutely alive within me, and each one of them creates a reaction within my soul."

Synchronicity. Look at him. Hirohito.

How might the collective unconscious work exactly? I need /his/ specifically to answer.

No question he was a genius, but was he right about any specifics, that's the question. Besides on questions of MBTI personality differences. I believe he invented the introvert/extrovert model. That accurately describes a pattern in reality obviously.

MBTI is a mutilated extract of Jung's work that was designed to be deployable to average people.
Jung does describe the introvert and extrovert types for simplicity of approach. But he also makes clear that everyone is simultaneously introverted and extroverted on a range of psychic aspects. That is, it's a question of which encounters a person will pursue and "live into" or which will he retract from and internalize.
E.g. the general introvert on 4chan is actually extroverted when it comes to exploring the content of 4chan.
In any case Jung has to read directly because there's too much to properly describe via summarization. And yes, I'd say he ends up being right about a lot of things but not in the neatly packaged ways that people want. It always requires explanation since it's about our complex psychology and not mere facts, which by definition are neatly packaged descriptions.

Well, yeah, the collective unconscious the thing that creates history and the future.
Individual consciousness only gets to participate in a small slice of the present.

He has a lot of pictures where he's smoking from a pipe and that makes him look charismatic and stuff.

He was a mystic and all mystics are retarded.
The supernatural doesnt exist, its all bullshit. Any form of philosophy and insight which comes from mysticism should be disregarded.
Psychology should be empirical like any other science.

I just bought my roommate a copy of Man and his Symbols, intending to later borrow it from him and read it myself, is it any good?

Looks pretty old

In the case of psych proper and not neuroscience/medicine, I don't know if it can ever be much more than pseudoscience + statistics. For actual psychological work to be done on you and on me, Jung makes a TON of sense and I can barely believe how accurately he describes certain deep psych functions that really are there if you look carefully. I'm looking at it as a right brain/old fashioned/time-tested approach to what it turns out really are better framed as "spiritual" problems (80%+ of what fills DSMs).

Mystics/ancients/neighborhood schizoids/mushroom gentlemen have as much to say in the exploration of actual conscious experience world as stats-bookies and describers and atomizers/glorified sociologists. Jung's description of the mind immediately fits in places where modern (soon to be antique, give it 25 years) ultimately pharmacological and fake it till you make it descriptions fail.

Not that there isn't a lot of good done by the modern (soon to be antique) approach as well. No I won't take my meds!

>>17794727 (OP)
His stuff on UFOs/lake monsters as modern resurgences of ancient symbols is somewhat interesting

>>17794727 (OP)
His thoughts on the anima and and animus are kino and spot on...your seeing it first hand right now taken to extremes...dominate overbearing women and effeminate men

Epic cringelord. Burning in Hell. Not much else to say.

stfu jew

Fuckwiittt. Get me started. Used a universal mythic structure to turmoil mythic matter and inhibit archetypes to replace universal mythic structures with fiction and stories to challenge schizophrenics to psychiatrist voices at home

OrtoOntologically fucked history and the world
