I generally like this show pretty well but I have to say with this episode I was just shaking my head the whole time. No, no, no, no, no. first of all defaulting to Freud's theory of the unconscious is patently absurd since his was the least sophisticated and most antiquated. The theory of the unconscious generated by Jung was much more sophisticated and interesting and at least philosophically conceivable. second, comparing it to a homunculus is just ludicrous, it is not ever theorized by any depth psychologist as being anything resembling a homunculus. third, the podcaster asserts that it is untestable, and this simply is not the case. In fact, recent developments in cognitive science have revived the concept of the unconscious, sometimes being referred to as the "new unconscious." This is of course a more reductionistic and less "magical" concept, but nevertheless even cognitive science is acknowledging that the unconscious may be real. The theory really deserved a better treatment
