I've removed the cut and paste from https://gettingpastyourpast.wordpress.com/mourning-theory in the Life and Death Drives section. As explained here I don't see a rewrite as necessary as the content was off-topic in the first place. Would be useful elsewhere in the article. Almanacer (talk) 11:51, 22 December 2016 (UTC

Putting Empedocles, Plato, and Sophocles as Influences is just virtue signalling

How come they aren't listed as Influences of Franz Brentano, Josef Breuer, Jean-Martin Charcot, Charles Darwin, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Gustav Fechner, Wilhelm Fliess, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Karl Robert Eduard von Hartmann, Johann Friedrich Herbart, Friedrich Nietzsche, Arthur Schopenhauer, William Shakespeare, Eugen Bleuler, or Carl Jung? Nobody in Freud's Influences or Influenced list has Empedocles, Plato, or Sophocles listed.

Libido in Intro

In the intro, Libido is mentioned as being postulated by Freud as various energies. From my readings of his works, he seems to make it clear that the libido is the sexual drive in the unconscious id. Various sources of mine say the same. What do you guys think? Xemplar (talk) 02:15, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
