Masking?

7 days ago by schipelblorp to c/autism

I was just watching a youtube on Jungian personas and masks. The problem, Jung said, is that people put on masks to gain love and acceptance but hide their true authentic selves. Over time, they forget who they really are and become their mask.

The video was about how to remove the mask and discover your true self, but all I kept thinking was "love and acceptance? just for putting on a mask? how can I learn this skill?"

~~Sure, though Jung as a topic is pretty heavily farmed and i have no opinion on this channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwzSSweFhjk%7E%7E

Watch this examination of Jung slop offerwd by another user instead: https://youtu.be/9hyfAhGjqf0

AI slop psychology videos are not to be taken seriously. They're full of inaccuracies. All of them. Don't reward these lazy and borderline criminal "content creators".

is it definitely slop? the information seems cohesive and concise. i think i may have heard a few weird turns of phrase. but, yeah, try looking up jung + anything and see how far you have to look for a human only for them to immediately start talking about astrology seriously. lots of kookery with jung.

At some point I was being served slop jung videos on my recommended very aggressively. All the channels were about 2 years old with very consistent video length and publishing rate almost daily. The speech synthesis is also very easy to tell.

Scammers and grifters and narcissistis like to massage with our psychological weaknesses to manipulate us. That's all one needs to know. They seem to have found Jung a good vehicle.

Nice! Thank you! I'm swearing off the slop! I have volume 12 of Jung's work on alchemy and dream interpretation on my reader. Back to the source!

Have you had run-ins with Alan Watts slop, too?

Yeah, can't go wrong with published old books. Yes it did cross my feed. I miss occasionally hearing some bites of Alan Watts or Terrence McKenna talks in music mixes. Funnily enough those seem to have disappeared from youtube from what I've heard. I already was taking everything with a grain of salt back then. These days with voice deep fakes, I may need a handfull of salt. I just don't waste time with it anymore.

I'm sure archive.org has a bunch of old recordings though. So definitely go there.

My thoughts exactly. I would rather recommend reading an actual book by Jung or on Jung. Some of them are rather approachable (far more, than Freud, at least), except for the Red Book, afaik.
