Status Updates From التنقيب في أغوار النفس

Took a long way to make a point, like every philosophy literature. Fascinating enough though

“The statistical method shows the facts in the light of the ideal average but does not give us a picture of their empirical reality. There is and can be no self-knowledge based on theoretical assumptions, for the object of this knowledge is an individual - a relative exception and an irregular phenomenon.”

‘the value of a community depends on the spiritual and moral stature of the individuals composing it.’

‘The State in particular is turned into a quasi-animate personality from whom everything is expected. In reality it is only a camouflage for those individuals who know how to manipulate it.’

‘The positive advantages of knowledge work specifically to the disadvantage of
understanding.’

Psychoanalysts really piss me off. Idk why i thought that this would be different lol I will probably give up on this soon.
