    Be funny if you beat the game and then WW2 happens anyway because the conditions were always going to create a Hitler and there was no shortage of racist WW1 vets in germany

      Probably complaining about the "demonization" of Hitler, now that Nazis are being rehabilitated and it will soon be mainstream to condemn the Holocaust as Soviet propaganda. Just go on :reddit-logo: to see all the not-Nazis whine about the red army murdering ten million trillion gorillion blonde-haired blue-eyed sieg-heiling Hitler youth members German children

    Jungian psychotherapy

    The Holocaust could have been avoided if only an old man with a Kermit the Frog voice had spent hours droning at Hitler about feminine chaos dragons

      It would be interesting if both Jungian and Freudian techniques had no effect or just made things worse, and the secret to actually stopping the Holocaust was getting Hitler to confront his inner misogyny and racism and reform him into joining the SPD or something.

        Seems wacky and unscientific to 21st century laymen. Not obvious how concepts were discovered, it's the kind of stuff (especially before much knowledge of physical brain) that you could just make up and for me it didn't "click" like Marxism. Also possibly because in school you're taught that Freud was a pioneer but mostly wrong and liked cocaine (at least I was) and folks don't look much more.

        Src: I read 3/4 of a library book about Lacan and then lost it.

        e: I'm not trying to argue for a position here, I am undecided, this is just why I think this site doesn't vibe with it.

          Never been psychoanalysed myself but the general cultural exposure to it comes off as similar to profiling to me, where you can just say shit in an authoritative position and as long as it isn't absolutely ludicrus and objectively disproven in some way its cool. Not a lot of showing the work(from what I can tell).

          Plus it has been used a lot as a personal tool of revenge and escalating grudges by using the language of psychoanalysis(though this is not unique when it comes to the field of psychiatry) to smear someone as secretly all kinds of horrible things based on vague observations backed up by authoritative language. Could be argued that this is more a disease of social media relations than a disease of psychoanalysis but it has colored my perception of it, by its nature as a psychiatric tool you are always more likely to hear about the horror tales and pop culture misuses of it, cause doctors cant exactly brag about the private successes with their patients.

        I mean personally I just shit on an attachment to particular figures. I know fuckall about it, but my impression is that when somebody's really big on specifically Jung or Freud it tends to indicate that they reject advancements past them.

        Same reason I make fun of people getting too into Nietzsche or whoever - not a rejection of philosophy but a rejection of treating a pioneer of a field like they Got It Right, so to speak

        I've learned that knee-jerk hostility to psychology online is a tell for Scientologists. Their org literally tells them to do this.

          It's super common across cults in general. Even ones that claim to have room in their cosmology for regular ol' psychological conditions will typically pressure you to conceive of and treat your symptoms as spiritual ones, within their framework of course.

    It could be an interesting concept, exploring the mind of one of the most brutal dictators in history, but I don't trust gamers to do it right.

    This concept is hilarious, thank you for introducing me.

    Any time Freud comes up people rush in to say what an unscientific quack he was. I'm sure they're right. I spent a lot of time reading Freud in my undergrad (I wanted to understand what the fuck Zizek was talking about). I also spent a lot of time in the physiological -industrial complex, including seeing four different therapists. And, I gotta say, what I did with them is almost exactly like what Freud described in his books.

    For anyone who wants to say how advanced we are since Freud, have you read "A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis"? What specifically has changed between the method that's described in that book and what's done now? Any time I've ever asked a psychologist about this they just get smug and condescending. As far as I can tell, the biggest difference between then and now is that the drugs we use now are less powerful (no more coke).
