daily reminder that psychology is a pseudoscience by the mentally ill, for the mentally ill.
freud literally looked at his penis when having perverted thoughts, saw it react, and then concluded that there must be a mystical driving force called "libido," for else how could his penis move? wilhelm reich, who was very fond of freud, then further developed the idea of orgone energy in the context of said libido. which, mind you, is a pseudoscience which came hundreds of years after newtonian gravity and the conservation of momentum.
then, after his libido invention, freud further invented the idea that repressing said pseudoscientific libido causes mental disorders. which he took as further justification to pursue his perverted thoughts in line with his fictional libido. it's not only entirely made up, but also beyond comical circular reasoning justyfing his perversions. which has done nothing but coincide skyrocketing rates of autism and gender dysphoria.
