Because as the above article shows, ignoramuses can and will turn your words inside out and totally distort whatever you said in the book. The better you said it, the better their arguments will be.

     Poor Robert Bly.

     Humanity has reached the dismal state where great masses of it will believe anything. Incapable of thinking for themselves, and too ignorant to adequately process complex ideas, this group invariably misunderstands complex ideas. These folks can think of themselves, and how special they are, but that’s as far as their thinking can take them.

     The problems highlighted in the article above are exactly what I ran into while a member of the Oregon Friends of Jung. Meeting monthly –obstensibly to discuss the ideas of one of the most original minds humanity ever produced, one of the ‘big three’ fathers of modern psychology– did they actually do that? Did they want to delve into difficult and troubling concepts like the human shadow? Of course not!  Accept for the hard-hitting James Hollis and Karl Marlantes (whom I scheduled once, with great difficulty), they wanted to hire lecturers on astrology and other such ‘make you feel good’ navel-gazing diversions. While board members, my husband and I dutifully sat through countless lectures so muddled they were meaningless. Jung would have crapped his pants in frustration.

     If one slithered by right now, I could bite the head off a rattler.

     Because the author of this article is right. There is a connection between “New Age” concepts and QAnon.

     That connection is rampant narcissistic ignorance incapable of processing complex ideas.
