Freud vs. Jung | The Psychology Feud That Changed (and Possibly Ruined) the World

The rivalry between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung was not just a personal disagreement—it was a philosophical battle that influenced psychology, culture, and mass media as we know them. Originally allies, Freud saw Jung as his intellectual successor, while Jung admired Freud’s pioneering work on the unconscious. However, their views on the human mind diverged dramatically: Freud believed the unconscious was a battleground of repressed desires, while Jung saw it as a symbolic world of archetypes guiding human experience.

Ultimately, Freud’s influence won out, cementing a worldview rooted in repression, neurosis, and the supremacy of childhood experiences. But was this the best path for society? As we’ll explore, Freud’s triumph helped build the modern world—but also led to overanalysis, propaganda, and mass psychological conditioning. The question remains: Would we have been better off with Jung’s vision of meaning, myth, and individuation?

In this video, expect to learn about the history between Freud and Jung, the differences in their understanding of consciousness, and how their influence still impacts us today.
