    I mean, yeah, okay, technically youā€™re correct. I should have been more careful with how I phrased things. I know people on the internet are pedantic. I should have seen this coming. Freud didnā€™t invent studying the mind, he just popularized the idea of, you know, actually using it to help people. The fact that he was bad at doing that doesnā€™t make it a bad idea.

    What would have happened if he hadnā€™t come along and done that is just a story you made up. It has no basis in reality. Maybe weā€™d be living in a magical utopia where nothing bad would ever happen anymore. I canā€™t prove that isnā€™t true. Itā€™s not really a helpful thing to discuss though.
