Mystery, of "The Mystery Method."
Not even kidding. When people want to criticise PUA lore, people post his picture. The guy dresses like a clown because it gets him chicks. It is a conscious strategy. I'm simply not that horny, but I have learned from him.

Become familiar with the term "shit test." It's pretty much the key to womankind - a kind of sounding out of how eager you are to please her, which correlates to how desperate you are for sex, which correlates to how low you are in the tribal pecking order. Totally unconscious. But this sort of thing is why women rave about "intuition" - social dynamics determine whether women feel attraction. Beta behaviour is as disgusting to them as fat chicks are to visually dominated men.

I keep hearing "The Red Queen" and "Sperm Wars" quoted by these people, so they're probably worth looking into.

just fyi: What Nietzsche calls nihilism is what normal people call humanism, christianity, etc.
What Nietzsche believes ('I have my way, you have yours, as for the one true right way, it does not exist') is what normal people call nihilism.

Your three statements are actually kinda of false considering that:
-Considering that multiple people that work in neurology consider themselves in debt with freud. Kandel is a prime example so he did contribute to science.

-He wasn't obsessed with cocained. He actually pretty sedate, never got hooked up and that's why he thought it could be used to calm opium addiction. Later in his life he always felt guilty because of the death of his friend. Besides that it's an ad hominem.

-It's hard to back up that statement because you don't have access to the patients. We have the letters and the comments of a couple of people like little hans. But it's true the inefficacy of the therapy is the biggest problem with psychoanalysis.

The second better problem is that it's not falsifiable and the third that it's impossible to build on the theory or to teach analysis.

But besides that conceptually I still have to see a critic of psychoanalytic concepts that are solid. The truth is, that no matter how much you don't want it, psychoanalysis is the best theory of mind that we have.
