    Theories can be viewed metaphorically as maps. If I define ground with hocus pocus nonsensensical alchemy I can lay the foundations for modern chemistry, same can be said for medicine. I could argue that Plato created Christianity monotheistic god on ‘The Republic’.

    Your critic of Freud is valid but that doesn’t mean he didn’t lay a fundamental metaphorical map

      No, I’m saying you’re just wrong.

      All of those things are straight up wrong.

      I can claim that I can grow wings and fly, but I’d be wrong. And yes, stupid people will believe stupid things like Freud’s theories.
