While Jung had some amazing insights for his time which pave the way for much deeper research into psychology, he was also deeply focused on bonkers mythology and solar schlongs than how we as people can relate to each other and the world around us.
His work on how hidden or repressed trauma impacts the mind probably will have a longer lasting impact on psychology than the ideas about set “archetypes” that people like Jordan Peterson have used extensively to prop up the idea of natural hierarchy, and why we should respect billionaires because they’re cool and awesome. (I’m working from memory but I think that was the title of one of Peterson’s books.)
