Apologies, I was having a down day and forgot how this forum is a lighthouse* warning off those seeking the BK coastline thinking its a safe harbour when in fact its a pirate’s paradise (*see what i did there :-D)
PP: A bit more added to the mountain of rubbish by the BKs won't make much difference. Idiots would find some other nonsense to believe anyway.
ex-l : It's a fair comment. Unfortunately, they go beyond beliefs to abuse and exploitation.
Most beliefs lead to abuse or exploitation, either by others or through self-delusion. Of course, beliefs that are implanted by others which entrap you to allow them to exploit or abuse you is morally worse, especially when they know how questionable (and entrapping) those beliefs are.
I was watching The Century Of The Self. Do you know it? A 2002 British television documentary series,
I have heard of it but haven’t seen it. Will have a look.
Freud was notorious for perpetuating his theories without much development to exploit his fame and enjoy favour, to the point of refusing to listen to others’ developments, even denigrating them rather than debating or discussing with them as an equal (Jung, Adler, Reich etc) seeing them as competing or criticising his work as inadequate rather than advancing or complimenting his own as a scientific approach would, despite their willingness to always give him kudos as "the pioneer".
Maybe it's an expression of the "chosen one” syndrome of his Jewish heritage? Here I go, psychoanalysing Freud! but if you dish it out, be prepared to take it! ... Something we could say goes along with all monotheistic paradigms which inevitably, are by definition, about exclusivity and personal salvation which is also inevitably at the expense of the other - person or society or nature.
Another BK parallel.
