He seems to be credited with giving the field of psychology a good kickstart though.
Well yeah, which is why I specifically mentioned him getting more people interested :V

But as mentioned, the problem is his shit was shit. Freud was pretty much a quack, and an embodiment of many of the negative stereotypes associated with psychology in general t'boot. Popularized the stuff to a fair extent but even by the standards of his time (never mind today) he was a freaking terrible psychologist. By and large the few times he was actually something approximating accurate, it was more coincidence than anything he actually did.

It's difficult to overstate just how bad the guy was at what he brought more attention to. Freud's one of the go-to examples I've seen used in modern psychology teaching as what to not do. How to not do research, how to not diagnose, how to not treat, and on, and on, and on. Pretty close to every aspect of psychology you can think of, freud screwed up on. Dude's almost impressive just for that alone :-\
Oh man, I should have remembered that Freud = instant derail, and one should always avoid mentioning him on B12, even in jest.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

So how much do you think the USA should ban and deport Muslims in the advent of Trump winning?
