Sigmund Freud postulated that men compensate using a strategy whereby one covers up, consciously or unconsciously, weaknesses, frustrations, desires or feelings of inadequacy or incompetence in one life area through the gratification or (drive towards) excellence in another area.
Thoughts on this statement /sci/? Is this why /sci/ is obsessed with calling people "brainlets"? Non biased answers only please.

That's true. At least for me. I have a huge inferiority complex due to being black and I try to compensate by being smarter than everyone else around me. Like your average /sci/ poster, that works with most normies, but it's been frustrating to find a few people who I had to acknowledge as smarter than me (at least in one specific situation).

Damn im looking at the picture of an extremely unsuccessful government subsidies globalist scum
>>8853145
It's true, and anyone denying it just kidding themselves. But it's also just natural and not exclusive to /sci/.
pseudoscience.
>>8853145
thats just some bullshit that poorfags say to feel better about being poor.
>Men are driven towards improving and excelling in what they can in order to compensate for weakness
really deep, I never would have guessed myself
>>8853145
You can't just say "everyone who doesn't believe in my Jewish memescience is actually evidence I'm right!", that's called being non-falsifiable, not that Freud would kow anything about being a scientist.
Seriously, all his and his cronies work boiled down to
>Don't like gays? You're gay!
Etc
>>8853145
The problem with this is it's un-disprovable psuedoscience.

Full of pasty lanklet virgins who overachieve in STEM to compensate for looking like a dweeb.
>>8853145

More like Sigmund fraud.
Once we get a better understanding of the brain psychology will be looked at the same way we do alchemy.

Freud doesn't even qualify as pseudoscience
