Hes the bane of NPCs and the establishment. He single handledly kept the value of mythology, supernatural and the paranormal alive during the peak years of modernism and post modernism. Academics, modern Europeans, and experts have been trying to destroy him ever since.

But the establishment is in decline. They have to watch as all their worthless ideas (like new-atheism, and moral relativism) all fall into the waste bin of history while Jungs ideas get stronger and stronger.

Jung's major beliefs is that a primary goal of every human is/ought to be the process of individuation (the processing of becoming a self)–which he wrote on the backdrop of rising collectivistic pressures via shifting global geopolitics. For Jung, there is a distinction between ego and self, where ego is a narrow band of consciousness that exists primarily in a space of tension between unconscious factors (which includes shadow) and social presentation (persona).

He further believed that people share a collective unconscious, which is that we inherit cultural motifs and symbols that then get continuously represented across different cultures and time; however, they manifest in a way relative to the culture of the time. So, 'Hero' may be an archetype, meaning stories involving heroes transcend cultures and time, but 'Batman' is a specific manifestation that emerged in American culture in the past century.

One archetype then is the 'shadow', which represents unconscious elements that are in conflict with our ego ideal (how we think we should behave or be–especially in front of others). These can include unfulfilled desires, fears, perceived weaknesses, shame-inducing idiosyncrasies, etc. The idea is that the 'self' in the Jungian conceptualization involves actively seeking these archetypes out via either psychological analysis or a process Jung calls Active Imagination. In either case, the general idea is to actively confront these aspects of our unconscious and integrate the awareness–and the process by which the awareness was obtained, into our conscious understanding of self.

Jung's ideas overlap with the likes of Jacques Vallee in terms of the intersection of psychological concepts and the mystical. Myth and folklore were of prominent sources of information in Jung's formation of his ideas; however, there is an impact of poor translation and creative liberties taken in sources Jung used unwittingly.

So you might be looking at the name of this thread and thinking Language learning as a hobby? Why yes, this thread is to be dedicated to those that are learning a new language as a hobby.

Not only this but to provide resources for those that wanna get help with their progress and just talk about their language learning journey.

Elf edition.

Since a bunch of the old threads were basically nuked with the server transfer, I wanted to revive some of them.

General discussion of the fantasy genre.

what comedian do you like /leftypol/ ?

Any puroresu fans here?
Puroresu is Japanese pro-wrestling. I realize there's a /wooo/ thread but puroresu is quite different than WWE or pro-wrestling you might encounter here in the US. It strives for a more sports-like feel and tells stories in the ring rather than people talking at each other or doing stupid antics. It's still fake (and people watching know it's fake), but it tends to be faster and harder hitting. It's also a lot less commercialized - you pay to watch online and there aren't any commercials.
The top two puroresu companies in Japan right now are New Japan Pro-Wrestling and its sister company STARDOM (which is women's wrestling). For my money, STARDOM is actually the best pro-wrestling company in the world to watch right now, as it tells the best stories, has the most compelling talents, and puts on consistently entertaining shows.
The main picrel is Zack Sabre Jr., who is the World Heavyweight Champion of New Japan. He's British. I chose him because he's also an outspoken socialist. The other picrel is Saya Kamitani, the World of Stardom Champion and *the* best person in all of pro-wrestling to watch at the moment.

Seeing how there’s multiple /co/ related threads on the board. I think we should just put all of them into one general just for clarity’s sake.

Discuss anything related to comics and animations from comic recs, leftist animations to comic writers’ attempts to larp as leftists.

Seriously is there a worse anarchist in the UK than Alan Moore?

So i remember a while back, while i was lurking, that we had a language learning thread here too.

Personally i think it is better suited in /edu/ but i understand how it is a hobby for some folk too, so here is the thread.
