To be fair to Jung, most of what he wrote is barely coherent garbage with zero experimental backing and an attitude towards intellectual honesty and scientific integrity which I would politely qualify as problematic. Sorry, I think it had to be said.

Do you fear Jung's ideas? If they are incoherent garbage with no merit, shouldn't they just collapse under their own weight?

[analog31]

History doesn't support this. Bad ideas can be remarkably persistent. Yes I fear Jung's ideas if they give rise to beliefs that are harmful to me, or to society. An example would be biased stereotypes surrounding the introvert / extravert dichotomy.

Disclosure: I'd probably test as an extravert, but would advise against identifying as an introvert in a business setting due to the bias against introverts.

People find his ideas fun. That doesn't mean they're good.

Astrology is much more obviously incoherent, but it isn't going to "collapse under its own weight" any time soon either.

Collapse? Yes eventually, but in the meantime…

People said the same about Freud at the time, but now look at how his work is regarded. It now has experimental backing, is effective, supported by many health agencies, etc.
