      To be more specific, Jung’s psychology has been characterized as “unscientific” on the following grounds:

      • that some Jungian concepts, such as archetypes and synchronicity, cannot be proven by the scientific method
      • that Jung subscribed to a nineteenth-century notion of evolution that has since been discredited
      • that Jung’s valuation of the mental functions of feeling and intuition on the same level as thinking weakens the attitude of rational objectivity that is essential in scientific research
      • that Jung’s interest in occult traditions, including the pre-scientific European past (third-century Gnosticism and medieval alchemy) and contemporary Asian cultures (Taoism and Tibetan Buddhism) amounts to a glorification of mysticism and irrationality
      • that Jung’s clinical specialization in the treatment of schizophrenia and his own brush with psychosis made him an untrustworthy guide to “ordinary” reality

        This is only 10% of the article dipshit. Some of these points are only theorized to be the case.

        Also, I find it kind of funny. Scientific method is just a model with its own flaws and is bound to faliure in certain fields as all models do.
