Reality, Reason, Control: From Hyperconsciousness to Neurodegeneration (Psychic Evolution and System Bug)

In 1921, Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychiatrist and father of Analytical Psychology published Psychological Types, his metapsychological model presented to the international scientific community. As we all know, Jung’s theory is based on the contrast of two general types of attitudes, introverted and extraverted, specific to all human beings. The model is then further divided into four functional types: two irrational functions (sensation and intuition) and two rational ones (thinking and feeling). We all know how the world of analytical psychology and dynamic psychology in general, is nothing but a continuous confrontation with the unconscious. In clinical practice as in theory, the idea of the unconscious pervades our way of looking at human behaviors and our considerations on them. However, it is undeniable that each of us uses consciousness every time we come to a belief about ideas and feelings of our own or of others. Therefore, as Jung himself clarifies, a meta psychological model is a systematization operated by an individual driven by consciousness. And up to this point there is not much room for doubts. However, the following point appears much less obvious.
