Was he right?

By this most of his stuff has been debunked. He is mostly mentioned because he was of important to the history of psychology.

Was his subconscious meme theory correct though?
Because if it wasn't then I've wasted three hours on The Century of the Self because it's based on a bullshit theory.

No. He's just some Austrian Jew who did cocaine and had an obsession with penises.

Nah, he said and did a lot of important stuff. Later people have said it better, or backed the idea he wrote with research and can claim it as 'theirs' now. He did say some weird sexual stuff, but don't knock it until you've taken Psych of sexuality.
People love to say Freud was "debunked" and psychoanalysis is stupid (which it is) but we still use his tripartite division of the self, we still use the idea of the "subconscious," we still think our early childhood experiences shape the rest of our lives, we still think we repress traumatic experience, these all come from Freud.

When you solve your first trauma, you'll realize how accurate was Freud about the subconscious.

He was an excellent philosopher and a terrible psychologist.
