Is it normal that i think sigmund freud's psychoanalytic theory is bullshit?

I've never gotten why psychology has taken Sigmund Freud so seriously.

    Psychology as a science is very difficult, and for a long time people struggled to find ways to justify it as a science at all because it's so much harder to gather reliable, empirical data when you're working with something as dynamically insane as human rationale and behavior.

    For a very long time we just had to take what we could get, and if that means I gotta have a crack-addled Austrian tell me I wanna do immoral things to my mom then so be it.

    Freudian psychoanalysis is pretty much defunct, but his insights into subliminal bahavior, the significance of dreams, and the stages of life development are still very valid. He was a true genius.

    He got a lot of the causality wrong, but his descriptive notes on behaviours were more on point than many realise.
