You also think you can dismiss Jung with a four word nonsensical statement

Jung's ideas were nutty even compared with other psychoanalysts. Do you actually believe in the 'collective unconscious'?

I don't live in a binary world (right/wrong, black/white, beleive/disblieve).

Jung had some "interesting" ideas but every idea he had was not nutty and there is supporting evidence for the concept of "collective unconscious" (which is far from the only concept Jung put forth). I find Jung compelling but I can't tell you if he is right or wrong (black or white, on or off) and neither can you.

The quest for knowledge includes the taking in of information - if you pass judgment on the information at the point of input you are acting on your inner desire for order not knowledge. You can chose not to accept Jung's ideas but you can not falsify the ideas so understand you are speaking in the realm of opinion (which is fine).

My brother and I used to joke that the fact that it always seemed the much hated Dallas Cowboys got all the "breaks" proved that Jung's ideas were a bunch of crap. If true, the collective unconscious would never allow them to win.
