Quote:
The Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud ... would discover that human beings were as strongly motivated by a death wish...

Discovered? Invented one of the goofiest ideas ever to leave the pen of an intelligent writer is more like it. It really hurts an author's credibility when she steps outside her area of expertise and repeats nonsense like this.

If you make yourself really small, you can externalize virtually everything. Daniel Dennett, 1984
