Carl Jung

Carl Jung was the father of archetypal psychoanalysis. His work is one of the inspirations for neuromythography.

Jungian psychology features concepts such as the Self, Shadow, anima, animus, and the Collective Unconscious.

Jung’s Collective Unconscious and the Collective Consciousness of Emile Durkheim form a complementary dyad, whose roots are partially in right- and left hemispheres, respectively.

Collective Consciousness

The Collective Consciousness is a term coined by sociologist Emile Durkheim to describe social facts and social constructs that appear to emerge in the collective organism we call society. In Durkheim’s words,  it represents ‘the body of beliefs and sentiments common to the average of members of a society’. It is a Persona-based complement to Jung’s Collective Unconscious, and is primarily represented in the left hemisphere orbitofrontal, anterior cingulate, middle cingulate, and anterior superior and posterior temporal areas.

Collective Unconscious

The Collective Unconscious is a term coined by Carl Jung to describe the archetypal patterns that are repeated across human art, culture, and mythology. It is a shadow-based complement to Emile Durkheim’s Collective Consciousness.

Comtean

A neuromythographic neologism that refers to the use of epistemology and methods introduced by Auguste Comte, including positivism and sociology. The Comtean view can further be traced back to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the Rationalist school of Roman medicine, and the Greek Sophists. The descendants of the Comtean view include Hegel and Marx.

Emile Durkheim created modern sociology within a movement known as anti-positivism, which jettisoned the scientific pretense of positivism, and embraced the subjectivity of perspective as an epistemological foundation for sociology. Durkheimian sociology led to critical theory and postmodernism.

cuttlefishing

The use of manipulative rhetorical techniques to try to discredit a person as a unless they ‘virtue signal’ while trapped in an accusatory hypothetical question.  Refers to this video of a cuttlefish trapped in a researcher’s aquarium, with artificial backdrops designed to force the cuttlefish to conform its colors:
