108: Do You Have a "Self?"

108: Do You Have a "Self?"

David emphasizes that there are two issues. First, can your "self" be validly judged as not good enough, as inferior or even worthless? Or, can your "self" be validly judged as more worthwhile, or even superior? And is it really true that some people are more worthwhile, or less worthwhile, than others? Do more worthwhile, or less worthwhile human beings exist?

Second, do we even have a "self?"

Fabrice talks about the history of the concept of ego. For example, Freud divided the human mind into three parts: the id, ego and superego. Do these really exist as "things," or are they just concepts, or metaphors for talking about the mind? When you try to think about the "ego" or the "self" as a thing, that's when you get in trouble.

David argues that if you believe that someone people are "more worthwhile" or "less worthwhile," you'd have to define what a of worthwhile human being is.
