Who was Sigmund Freud?

Have you ever opened the fridge and stared inside, even when you aren't hungry? Or accidentally called your teacher "Mom" in front of the whole class? (Oops!) Why do our brains do weird things like that without us even realizing it? Join Mira and Finn on Philosophy is Not Boring as they explore one of the biggest mysteries of all: your very own mind! Around the year 1900, a famous doctor from Vienna named Sigmund Freud had a massive, world-changing idea. He believed your mind is actually like a giant iceberg! While the tiny tip sticking out of the water is the part you know about—your conscious thoughts—there is a huge, hidden world deep underwater. This hidden part is called the unconscious, and it is packed with secret wishes, feelings, and old memories that quietly steer how you act! Discover how Freud believed our weird, wacky dreams are actually secret messages from this underwater world. Find out why modern scientists disagree with some of his ideas, and why he made his patients lie on a super comfortable couch with fluffy dogs! Get ready to dive deep and discover the secrets of your brain!
