Hi Adam,

Did you see my answer to Arthur Storms? This might help:

Hi Arthur, it has nothing to do with politics. I am neither liberal nor conservative, and I have read his books and watched numerous of his lectures, my favorite being his interactions with Iain McGilchrist.

Like Jordan, I'm a licensed clinical psychologist. I've worked in many areas of psychology for approximately 33 years, and I began studying Jung a little over 50 years ago.

I don't care about the politics. Did you just react to my first line or did you actually read what I wrote?

It's not prejudice or hate or irrational judgment to state a simple fact - I'm not aware of any psychologist among the dozens I've spoken to about his ideas who thinks he has more than a limited grasp of mainstream psychology, especially personality psychology, but even Jung's basic ideas.

Now, I'm not presenting a scientific study of the news of all psychologists - I simple stated an undeniable fact - I'm not PERSONALLY aware of any psychologist (among dozens, not thousands) who believe he's competent in the areas about which he speaks.

I was especially intrigued (not angered or upset, just intrigued and somewhat amused though not surprised) at how thoroughly he misunderstood what McGilchrist was talking about.

So it seems that you've somehow heard other people's critiques and assumed because I said something regarding his competence that therefore I'm somehow completely blindly swayed by "left wing critiques" (McGilchrist, by the way, is quite a conservative person, at least temperamentally).

I'd love to have a follow up conversation about this.

that was my response to Arthur. About the diet, I've read numerous nutritionists' comments, and haven't found one that say there's even remotely any scientific evidence that his all meat diet is anything but harmful given his condition.

I have no expertise in that area, so I'm happy to leave it to the scientists who do. Meanwhile, I appreciate your bringing it up as it provides one more example of how limited his understanding of scientific psychology or science in general is.
