Humor, ar ar!
The other day in my Introductory Psychology course the class was discussing Freud and his Theory of Consciousness. In Freud's theory, there are basically three divisions of human awareness. The
id is instinct and desire for pleasure, the superego is conscience
and morality, and the ego is kind of like the self, or the part
of an individual which "blends" the id and the superego. The
instructor asked the class what kind of person would be characterized
as having an overdeveloped id, and someone correctly answered "a
criminal, or a child." Then she asked what kind of person might have an overdeveloped superego. I said without thinking, "a Democrat?"
