I think that would be extreme 😊. Consider, for example, there are sadistic psychopaths…

 

But we can say that the Freudian filter is deeply tied to self-deception, and that is one of the core features that allows human to “do evil” (to borrow a phrase from TOKer Steve Quackenbush).

Would it be extreme to say the Freudian filter is the root of all evil? Or, that lying to oneself is the first step down a slippery slope towards unconsciousness?
