“*my comment on YouTube was censored by the hosts so I’ve put it here instead*
I have found a lot of value from this podcast in the past. But the most recent episode (being loyal to self and the death of illusion) came off as extremely elitist and out of touch. It was stated that workers who are advocating for unionization and fair pay/benefits are just stuck in a parental complex. There are people who work 40 hours per week and live out of their cars and can’t afford food! Workers joining hands and fighting against this is not asking the company to be their mommy and daddy. It’s demanding basic human decency and adequate pay for the work being put in. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Jungian psychology is somewhat of an elitist enterprise at its core. Jung himself was extraordinarily wealthy, becoming an analyst is generally only available to those with very deep pockets, and going through analysis is only possible for those with hundreds of extra dollars to burn each month on sessions. The pursuit of “individuation” isn’t really possible for those who are scraping and clawing to survive each day. It’s clear that the hosts of this podcast aren’t rubbing elbows with the “common folk” too often. But I would expect a better general understanding of the human condition from people who study psychology for a living.”
