Every Friday night, I attend a philosophy discussion hosted by my pastor and his wife. Our latest course of study consists of weekly readings of The American Century and usually two dvd lectures from different professors in the Teaching Company catalog. In the past we’ve gone through the history of Christianity, history of America, and history of the 20th century, focusing particularly on where different schools of thought have emerged and dominated modern thinking.
As of last week, we were discussing the emergence of psychoanalysis at the beginning of the 20th Century. After reading about the work of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung I was inspired to draw the above sketch. What started off as a professional relationship soon became a bitter rivalry. I wonder who would’ve won in a mixed martial arts fight. My money would have been on Jung because there’s a lot more face to grab on Freud, him having a beard and all. I can also imagine Jung in a press conference after the fight saying something like, “Maybe Freud was right, I’m the biggest, baddest, mother****** of them all.”
History deserves a lot more outrageous quotes like that. Students would definitely pay a lot closer attention.
haha, nice, I agree with you, if there were more quotes like that students would probably be more interested, hehe.
You had me at “Every Friday night.”
“Maybe Freud was right, I’m the biggest, baddest, mother****** of them all.”
LOL! That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time.
As a student of psychology, I greatly enjoyed that.
