GritCult has no time for Carl Jung as a scientist: a mystic who slept, dreamt and called it psychology, beloved by the pseuds and midwits he despises. Yet he keeps sharing Jung's lines on synchronicity and depression. Where the collective unconscious gestures at something real, he would rather explain it through evolutionary heritage than archetypes pulled from dreams.

Views

GritCult is blunt about what Jung was doing. Freud did coke and called it psychology; Jung slept and dreamt and called it psychology ^[1]. Most of the field is "just so" stories, a dude spitballing and getting paid for it. Psychology as a field can't even be considered a science, given its huge systemic reproducibility problem, and Peterson just regurgitated Jung anyway ^[2]. Mystical enough to seem above most normies, lacking enough substance to ensure any rigorous merit: that's the trick ^[3].

Then there is who loves him. Every pseud, fraud and midwit GritCult has ever met loved Jung ^[4], and in 2023 he put it plainly: he hates Jung ^[5]. Yet the account keeps quoting him. Jung's line that synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have the eyes to see goes out again and again from 2020 to 2023 ^[6], and in 2024 a Jung line that depression is not necessarily pathological and often foreshadows a renewal of the personality became one of his most retweeted Jung posts ^[7].

Where Jung half got something right: the collective unconscious was a start on the right path. But inherited pre-existent forms? No. Shared evolutionary heritage and shared memes better explain the phenomena, though he conceded he needed to look more into what Jung was on about ^[8]. That is the shape of the whole relationship: Jung the scientist is a dreamer the midwits worship, while Jung the aphorist stays in rotation.

Recurring themes

• psychology is not a science
• mysticism mistaken for substance
• the midwit's favourite thinker
• quoting the man he mocks
• synchronicity as the line he keeps
• collective unconscious vs evolutionary heritage
